Frederic Parker Poet Sonnet

The Blessed Dawn

To watch the morning sun's soft lambent glow
Rise with glorious warm splayed reddish light
To feel life's allure on landscape's plateau
With majestic embers to chase the night
This luminosity wakens the day
In its serenity from beauty found
The soul on wings begins to lift away
Drifting with this miracle so profound
This wondrous wonder of flaming new birth
Welcomes an awe-inspired colored hue
And stimulates the eyes fervor of Earth
As the sun breaks the horizon in view
To feel twilight vanish into the mist
As morning reveals heaven does exist

John Hamilton December 17, 2018 at 11:46 AM Frederic....this is spectacular!! This contest was the most difficult to judge as ALL of these top ten could EASILY win ANY contest. After careful consideration and at least ten reads of each...yours came out on top. I think this is probably in my top five of sonnets ever, congrats!
