Notes About The Poem

Monchielle Contest sponsored by Emile Pinet

Pastel Shades of Morning

Pastel shades of morning,
glow as dark wanes to light.
Colors brushed in the skies
in peach and lilac tones
as dawn begins to rise.

Pastel shades of morning,
are emboldened by noon.
Inflamed as if on fire,
shining ever brighter
as sunbeams fly higher.

Pastel shades of morning,
darken throughout the day.
Amber honey hue wends,
deepens as hours go by
before the sun descends.

Pastel shades of morning,
suddenly reappear
when sunlight starts to fade.
'Fore drowning in the sea
soft colors will cascade.

I love sunrise and sunset... amazing colors... but you have to see it at the right moment :) - hugs Lin Lane January 23, 2024 at 5:09 PM So do I love them, Anne-Lise. You have the right idea to catch them at those special moments when the colors blend and you stand there amazed at the beauty. Thanks and hugs.

Lin Lane January 23, 2024 at 5:08 PM You're right, Kim even though sometimes I'm at a loss just to find the rights ones I'm searching for. Thanks for your thoughts.

Jay Narain January 23, 2024 at 10:41 AM Nice Monchielle poem. Lin Lane January 23, 2024 at 5:07 PM Thanks a lot, Jay.

Tom Cunningham January 23, 2024 at 10:07 AM You paint a stunning tapestry with your words Lin, nature provides amazing colours. Tom Lin Lane January 23, 2024 at 10:38 AM Thank you, Tom. If only as poets we could capture the nature's beauty in our words, but that's not possible, especially when the painting is constantly changing.
