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.

wow, I think you captured every picture and some of your images were kind of like mine. I really enjoyed these,Carrie. Love the line "feathered brightly" and "lavender halo" in the last one. oh, and where darkness sleeps soundly, that is ME not getting up early with the rising sun!!
