Notes About The Poem

July 4, 2023 ~ Take a chance on a chanso contest

Sponsored by Kim Rodriguez

Summer Sunrise: Chanso

Summer morning sunrise
Dawn paints with pastel hues
Day breaks before my eyes

Pastel hues gently brushed
by angels in the sky
when all the world is hushed

The sky has golden threads
stitching closed nimbus clouds
with rain nature imbeds

Nimbus clouds of dark grays
Soon earth's thirst will be quenched
Then light from gold sun rays

Quenched, budded flowers bloom
on honeysuckle vines
softly scented perfume

Vines climb the garden wall
after a summer squall

Sunset, rain giving power and climbers embellish the scene, I'll be always in awe of your poems.
