Notes About The Poem

For Joseph May's Line Inspiration Poetry Contest

____________________________________________________________

When Dawn Drifts Into Enchanted Meadows

*When Dawn drifts into enchanted meadows,
listen to the choruses of birds’ song.
Feel on your skin the wind that softly blows.
Hear the crickets too which with birds chirp along.

Right before Dawn has arrived, maybe she
will paint the sky with orange, and I know
sometimes you might be fortunate to see
Dawn bringing to the landscape a warm glow.

Lay yourself down on grass. See sky change blue.
To be enchanted, meadows have flowers.
Wild, they’ll be dancing when a breeze blows through.
Enjoy their beauty in the morning hours.

Before it gets too hot, come with me. We’ll gaze
at clouds that shift like magic as we laze.

*(based on line 5 given by Joseph May)

Andrea, there's a lot to take in as the light of day begins to take hold. You capture many of the different features and provide a very pleasurable review of the dawn. It's something to take in over and over again. Makes this poem fun to read several times.

Dear Andrea, Your poem envelops me in a serene embrace, inviting me to dance with the dawn and embrace the beauty of nature. I loved how it whispers of moments cherished, of tranquility found in the meadows where time slows and worries fade. Your words urge us to savor the fleeting magic of each sunrise. Yes, I need to pause, breathe, and be enchanted by the world around us. - Blessings, Daniel
