Image result for pictures of beautiful late summer magenta sunrises with crepe myrtle

Sunrise on Swift Creek starts a new day
The sun is  etching magenta 'pon a misty sky
And fog settling low 'pon the ground will stay
Changing in the sky a red giant ball shows its dye
I wonder if old saying will come true and I sigh   

Mankind hasn't made much of an arising yet
Down where lilacs once bloomed in years gone by
But doves awaken from  slumber still sing my pet
They cajole weary whip-poor-will where sun and earth edify
To settle in the brush and quietly lie

Down where fuchsia crepe myrtle blooms are open
Enjoying the heat of end of a summer's day
There's beauty against even the coyotes' den
As turmoil goes on, guitar  music stops, places decay
Dear Lord, let me praise You, and constantly pray

A wonderful poem. All the select words are appropriately inserted. The new day is presented in all its glory. I am sure this is going to bag a big placement. All the Best, dear Sara.
