Summer Morn

Dawn gently woke the sun on this summer morn He yawned with splayed fingers of tepid light dappling brown cattails along the river's bank and gilded the wings of mosquito hawks in flight December 17, 2021 Bite Size Poem #30 Contest Sponsor: Line Gauthier

"In my youth I woke on such sweet summer morns. My darling beside me, my joy reborn. And truly wondrous was the risen sun. Our day ahead full of love and great fun." Your fine poem enticed that stanza right on out of me quick as a wink and a splash. Such beautiful imagery you paint! A fav ans a true gem too.. God bless..

Good morning, Mike. Actually, I see Dawn as being feminine...she woke the sun. Thanks so much for liking my imagery. I appreciate your lovely comments.
