Notes About The Poem

Queen of Dawn

Queen of Dawn waves her violet hand
Now her forest fills with veils of light
Watch where mist covers the mossy land
Hidden spiderwebs are filled with jewels bright
Night’s silence by birdsong is spanned
Sweet blush of dawn is at her command.


The Harrisham Rhyme was created by Harrisham Minhas, from Punjab, India.
It is a six line rhyming poem with the rhyme scheme: ababab
In this form, the last letter of the first word of each line is the first letter
of the first word of the next line.

Suz this is beautiful. Gently soft and lilting. So nicely crafted. Mesmerizing.

Nice to see you, Anne Lise: I started out trying to do a Harrisham Rhyme (ababab) but failed in the last line. It demanded a couplet of me.
