Sunrise Soliloquy

__

the tropical shore

waits birth of brand new morning…

clouds pace heaven’s door
__


one small speck of sun

rises to the occasion…

darkness sleeps soundly
__

glory in the dawn…

skies are feathered brightly with

bird of paradise

__

silhouetted palms

wave windblown fronds in alarm…

sun singes the bay

__

the early morning

wears a lavender halo…

blue mist dressing gown

Wow! Beautiful haiku. Good luck in the contest. (And thank you for being a community builder and for unselfishly sharing your time to read and encourage poetry on this site. My life took a swift new direction about 8 months ago, and I have not been able to reciprocate. My thanks go to every community builder who enjoys poetry and encourages other poets, like I once tried to do. I love you…all! Lovingly, Dane Ann)
