Premium Member Sunrise Greets Dawn
Pick One of Five 6-21-25 Image #1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sunrise Greets Dawn Daybreak’s amber moments arise To the beat of unfolding wings Masking misty azurine skies Sunrise greets dawn. Across still water swan chants sing Bathed in glories of the sunrise Rosy ballads for the morning ring. Bands of silver steel run lengthwise Bridging midnight and dawn’s dayspring Pink aurora turns from moonrise Sunrise greets dawn. ...

What Makes Me Smile
What makes me smile? A touch, a glance, The quiet strength in someone's eyes, A blooming thought, a second chance— What makes me smile. A sunrise through the window tries To light the sheets in soft expanse, And hope returns in whispered sighs. Though pain may linger, still I dance In dreams where healing spirits rise, And every breath becomes romance— What makes me smile. ...

Premium Member The Bear Necessities
Two hungry bears are poised to fight Razor sharp claws, like daggers drawn One stole a fish, theft is not right Two hungry bears They’d stalked brown trout since early dawn They’re ravenous, and that’s their plight Last trout had swum upstream to spawn A tasty trout bears love to bite But now all the fresh fish have gone No wonder both are so...

Premium Member At Golden Dawn
At golden dawn of hazy sun the front of gilded river glows. The swan opens its wings for fun at golden dawn. The span of white makes flying pose, ready to soar, waiting for none, as the morning mist the breeze blows. While under the bridge waters run, the sole swan will fly to get close to sky where sun’s show has begun at...

I embrace light
“The sun is new each day.”- Quote by Heraclitus -- One In Five Poetry Contest, Image 1 ----------------------------------------------- I embrace light with open arms Paddling all night in bitter cold Yearning so much for daybreak charms I embrace light To welcome sun in his robes gold A moment when nature transforms With all calls, chirps, tweets and songs bold Wiping off pesky fog, Earth warms Lives wake...

The golden stain
The golden stain of the sunshine Made the sea water shine like gold And gave egrets at the coastline The golden stain. The egrets came with their household, To make the water like their shrine, Their beaks and wings defied the cold. Young egrets stayed at the shoreline~ Their playful nature they unfold, Still gifting the twilight skyline The golden stain. Inspired by picture 1....

Our true world is what we know best Yet leave our safety to explore What more is there beyond the crest Outside our world Within, we know that there is more And made to follow this, our quest With never knowing what's in store We leave our comfort zone with zest Which takes us to another shore And find it only when we test Outside...

Premium Member When Wild Beasts Roar
When wild beasts roar against its blood The grizzlies raise their claws to swing They'll bathe the field in crimson flood When wild beasts roar No ties survive what desires bring Estrus whips ursine rage to bud For nature bows to just one king Gone were their childish plays as cubs Old bonds break for the sake of bling Where one takes...
