Sunrises Slowly

Pale cobalt blue 'pon horizon
Lavender just above
Fog coats the creek and pine forest
Sunrises slowly, love

The roosters sing their warm greetings
Crickets chirp a morn's song
Mourning Doves coo occasionally
"Peace gives life~~ life prolongs" 

As the red fireball sun rises
Casting red tinged cobalt
'Pon horizon's morn's whispy clouds
The Dove coos don't halt

There can be peace on this good earth
If love rules in each heart
Let love guide and depart never
As the gold sun paints art

I would love to see you try an actual Rengay poem my friend, but this one isn't an actual Rengay, at least not that I know of anyway! I believe the Rengay form is like a combination of a Haiku, Couplet, Haiku, Haiku, Couplet, and finally another Haiku! This is what I believe to be a Rengay! That's what I did whenever I wrote some! This aside, your poem it truly wonderful, a fabulous piece! You have successfully keep a high interest within this Poulter's Measure! You made me want to see more!!
