PURPLE PREACHING of DAWN

croon, of the rooster, shakes awake the town. purple preaching of dawn, dibbling the dark. bittersweet cockcrow sports orange-yellow, scripts pantaloon of pink sun. thus God winks. curtain’s breach of lace - kaleidoscope, drama’s brand new coat of diverse colors.

Beautiful choice of words and flow of descriptive imagery in this. I love the colours used here too. The opening lines stood out for me and the slight alliterations as well as “ curtain’s breach of lace -kaleidoscope, “ love that. Pleasure reading this artistic write that conveys so much, congratulations on your win
