The Monarch of the night descends, and for a time, her tenure ends at daybreak. She'll shut her eyes and sleep. But then ascends the regal Sovereign of daytime. Imperial his stately rise; majestic colors splash the skies - our daystar. His robe: the warmth; his sceptor: light. His court: white clouds; his crown: in bright gold - daylight. Clouds part as labor stains my brow; sweat stings my eyes. Of Luna now I daydream.

This is gorgeous! Great minds think alike, but I much prefer where you took the chosen compound words.

Juliet, I'm glad you didn't modify your charming poem of young birds to satisfy the contest requirements, it was just right. Thank you for your kind words ~ John
