Pocono Dawn

Pocono Dawn

Dawn crept over the horizon,
like a muffled piece of grey felt;
cloaked in mist, blanketed in opalescent fog.
As the minutes pass, 
the powder blue of morn seeped atop
jagged toothed conifer forest.

Clouds turn from periwinkle to azure,
cotton batting unrolls filling the firmament.
Slowly, softly, the sunlight 
bleaches clean the dusky dawn;
bringing forth a deep emerald-green 
woodland morn;
strewn with wild lavender salvia,
flush and new born as the day.;
back lit with the acrid yellow effervescence
of sunshine 
adorned.

Living a few miles from the Poconos, I had to read this. We usually take a ride in the Fall just to see the colors, sometimes stopping at Bushkill Falls or the huge farmers market. This was a great descriptive write. Vince
