Stars punctuate dark skies at night our moon is such a wondrous sight its luminescence gives a guiding light to hunting owls as they take flight. Gold stars twinkle much to our delight, they provide us with a scintillating display; our moon is such a wondrous sight it glows until night turns into day. I rouse from sleep, and then stifle a yawn as sunrays herald the break of dawn I open the drapes and espy on the lawn a lovely roe deer and her little fawn; they catch me watching, then are gone! Our bedroom takes on a golden glow as sunrays herald the break of dawn through the window of our bungalow I cherish every day that I wake in the morning CHECKED WITH RHYMEZONE Rhyme time II Sponsored by Laura Loo 11-21-17

Now that I'm old and gray, how I cherish mornings more than I ever did when young. For then it meant getting up and going to work. I don't work now of course, but remaining in bed is a waste of valuable time. So I'm up often just as the old sun is rising from his, a wonderful sight! Congratulations on your win.

That is a really lovely poem Jan, great description and rhyme and if I might say a real masterstroke using Bungalow as a rhyme. Should do well in the contest, regards, Kevin xx

Jan Allison
Date: 11/21/2017 5:44:00 PM

I try to use exact rhyme and it fitted well:-) Its somewhat of a fiction write as we don't have deer roaming our Island:-) hugs jan xx
