The dawn sun rose yellow and gold,
   And soft light pours in my window;
The sun is rising up so bold,
      I puff up my cozy pillow.

My cat has found a patch of sun,
   She is busy with her gray fur;
Get up before sunrise is done,
      Although in bed I would prefer.

Twittering drifts from the birdbath,
   And trees are misty and dappled;
I will walk the lush garden path,
      My flowers glowing and tangled.

Sun breaks free of a swirling cloud,
   Oh sweet golden sunshine streaming;
High up in the sky now so proud,
       And from my bed I come creeping.

oh yours is so lovely. I must go try to figure out her contest rules and try this. I am caught up with most of the contests I WANTED to do. Except for yours and two others. But there are other contests I will try later in the week though I am not as excited about them. Gotta take off for a while and hope to come back here and finish my comments! I am SO BEHIND, Constance. Loved this poem and your response to my limerick!
