Brandishing the lightning lance, the sun arrives, The mighty, majestic monarch of the day. Kissing the mouldy mountain rows, he comes, Banishing mist and frost from night’s blotched brow. With what rich ruby ring of radiance he appears, Smearing liquid gold, he gracefully moves. Sparkling splashes spread and the world becomes bright. The punctual rooster raises his raucous revelry. Birds and beasts wake up from their slumberous sleep. The feathered folks begin to warble their symphony. The verdant vales below send up a welcoming sign. The leaves stay bright tipped with dainty droplets of dew. Morn, the bashful maiden with modest grace, Peeps through half drawn curtains in the East. Removing all trace of a worn out yesterday, Sun comes and mellow murmurs grow into melodies.

Wow.... ! Thanks a lot dear Empress! I am greatly delighted to be selected by you. So thankful to you dear for this recognition. Because of my hurried life and very many responsibilities, I couldn't respond in time. Sorry.

Dear Valsa, I came back to read this gem and loved every word. I think your imagery of morning as a "bashful maiden" and the sun's "ruby ring of radiance" highlights the awe-inspiring rebirth of the world. I so agree that we should find the optimism and hopefulness in our lives and not be caught up in what the world wants us to be. - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Delightful description of dawn. It flows like a steady river with delightful alliteration and imagery: rich ruby ring of radiance is a great sign of dawn. And your last line is a great ending. Hugs.

Hey Valsa, I think Ink will love this one.. Your poem is a vibrant ode to the arrival of dawn, painted with rich, evocative imagery and personification. The sun is depicted as a 'mighty, majestic monarch,' wielding a 'lightning lance,' which sets the tone for its powerful and regal entrance. The description of the sun 'kissing the mouldy mountain rows' and 'banishing mist and frost' effectively captures the transformative power of morning light as it dispels the remnants of night.
