Sunlight Set the Sea Ablaze

Sunlight was spun in filagree Golden threads among froths of lace On crested curls in merry chase Burnished by waves in synchrony I smiled at their lucent shimmers As they danced in dappled glimmers Sparkling like gems of brilliancy In bright hues of topaz and maize Jewels that set the sea ablaze Gulls sang a gleeful symphony This wondrous morning on the cape Sol painted an awesome seascape As dawn revealed her litany On sunlight's gilded reflection Break of day was pure perfection Sunlight was spun in filagree Burnished by waves in synchrony Sparkling like gems of brilliancy Gulls sang a gleeful symphony As dawn revealed her litany Posted 7/29/20 Constanza Contest N/A'd by Sponsor: Joseph May 2nd in Chantelle Cooke's Second Chance Contest 10/1/20

Such a variety of beautiful images you have created, Jenna, "sunlight was spun in filagree" is just one. Congratulations on your winning placement. All the best!

Love the imagery in your verse Jenna, I go to Turkey a few times a year and have seen some amazing sunsets and sunrises, that reddish sky, then that brilliant golden speck that gets bigger to herald the start of a new day. Tom.

That must be quite an experience, Tom. Your description is so poetic...you should write about the beauty you beheld in those moments. Thanks for stopping by and leaving your thoughts, Tom.

Amazing imagery fills your poem, Jenna. On the east coast, most of us only see beautiful sunrises, but in Key West they celebrate "sundown" each evening. Absolutely beautiful! Surely a winner. Best wishes, Carolyn

I'm very pleased by your kind comments, Carolyn. Thanks so much. I agree...the sunset view from Key West is spectacular.

This makes me wish I was watching the sunrise over the Gulf of Mexico, one of my favorite things to do - walk on the beach in early morn. Thank you for taking me on this little trip, Jenna. Best of luck in the contest. Hugs, John

There's nothing better than watching sunrise or sunset across a body of water. The reflections are gorgeous in warm colors.

I live in Dallas but we vacation in Galveston sometimes. I’m a morning person and enjoy the peace of a sunrise.

You're welcome and thank you for your lovely thoughts, John. Do you live along the Gulf coast? I think a sunrise is just as beautiful as a sunset.
