Soft rays of morning's first light broke through jagged edges of sleeping dawn and glowed til becoming a golden yolk From within my cracked and fragile shell I moaned in lazy attempt to stifle a yawn not able to convince the rising to quell I could not bargain with the sun to tarry Although I praised with words to fawn With his strength I'll not quibble or parry 7/24/2017

Beautifully done Lin.. the image gives new meaning to the phrase "crack of dawn"...which came first, the poem or the picture?

This is lovely, Lin. regardless of time of year, I'm usually up around 04:00a.m, but spring and summer make it worth the effort, even early Autumn. I like to think that the Sun expects me to put the kettle on for it :) . Viv x

Thank you, Viv, and nice to see you. The morning sun is the first to whisper 'hello.'

Never thought of the sunrise that way before, maybe that's why eggs are so popular for breakfast...well done Lin

I'm an early morning person, but I'll skip the eggs. Thank you, Charlie.

This may be a little hard to believe but some mornings I get up to watch the sunrise then go back to bed. lol A peaceful awakening. Lin. Beautiful!

Lol, John. Morning greetings to you as well. No quibbles with the sun and no kibbles for breakie. More caffeine will shake the cobwebs in the brain free. Thanks ever so much for sharing a morning cup with me.
