Walking Under The Dawning Sun

Contest: 2026-04-02 Write a beautiful Terza Rima
Sponsor: Constance la France

"An early morning walk is a blessing for the whole day" 
                                         ~ Henry David Thoreau
Walking under the dawning sun Makes me feel fresh and energised, The sunrise cannot be outdone ~ Golden pink hues leave me surprised, The sky dancing in changing tones, Watching it, I am mesmerised; It increases my joy hormones, All worries and grays fade away, I'm no more feeling lazybones; The dawn slowly melts into day, And my morning stroll is finished, The quiet scene, hope does convey; Before the first light's diminished, My inner fire is replenished.

Congratulations on your winning work in Constance's contest. Way to go. I am delighted to see it in the lineup. I have always enjoyed the early morning as well but now it is hard for me to be able to get there to see it. I can't go on a walk but would go out on the porch. Sara K
