Notes About The Poem

New Day is a poem from my book Melodious Verse and the newly published anthology Radiant Verses 2024. It is a concrete poem written in free verse, it is the shape is of the sun on the horizon over water, written in 98 words. Centered for aesthetic symmetry the image is by me Josehf Lloyd Murchison.

New Day

New Day

I sit watching god’s creatures of the night, 
fleeing from the ever-approaching dawn. 
A bright orange and red haze caresses the horizon. 

Beyond this is the sun. 
Slowly ever so slowly rising above the edge of the earth: 
to explode into an orange ball of fire. 
Sending a red river of shimmering light across the water, 
now it is dawn. 

I can hear the cries of a seagull as it gracefully glides by me. 
In the water ducks swim around, 
as the sun lights up the world. 
It becomes morning, 
it is dawn no more, 
but a new day.
