Mournful Dawn Stroller

A forlorn figure pines while traipsing down the meadow,
dawn dewdrop wet sprinkles mock her sylvan shadow,
red sky ablaze mere  ornate first light wrinkled  lull,
hazy whisper from mint gust for maiden that blind pull,
or bright hue’d  usher to green moss-strewn meander,
where rainbow trout a wily catch might quell one edgy bystander

Very descriptive in an alliteration sort of way. I am now wondering why this figure is pining. Sara K

Your comment is appreciated. The character in this poem is in search of a more meaningful existence. The quest of self discovery can be painful for some, Howard
