Notes About The Poem

Used previously for Gregory Richard Barden's Liberum Divisa 8 Poetry Contest

_______________________________________________________________________

When I Was Drawn To Dawn

Slowly, a sliver of lemon meringue
began coloring the horizon 
beyond my valley home.
Drawn to dawn, 
I let myself succumb
to the beauty of it all.

Andrea, 'When I was Drawn to Dawn' - love your dawn. The Grand Canyon's edge calls to the timid. Unlike this poem, let's hope they never succumb to its beauty. -Richard
