Day Finds Me
by Leann Marshall

Rated "G" by the Author.

Dawn brings new promise...


Day finds me—

Reeling giddily ‘round me

All done up in golden dress

And azure scarves

Urging me to join the dance

But I, lost in my trance

Choose not to see

 

Eve arrives—

Dressed in hooded satin cloak

With longbow drawn

Shoots silver arrows

Up through velvet black

To pierce the dark

And make the stars

 

But even that, I must confess,

Does not impress—

With dogged resolve I'd rather sit

Through wretched call of Whippoorwill

And count the hours—

For only Dawn

Brings roses.

..brings roses...and the lark's song?

Leann, this is poetry at its finest, with a superb visual effect...a dreamy, beautiful mood, and a very personal (individual) statement from you...altogether delightful.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful write.
You are very gifted with words.
Thanks also for reading my poetry and all the sweet comments.
I have been very bad about writing and posting new poems. Sometimes we get side tracked doing other things.
Blessings,
Judith

Leann,

Who needs stars when one has roses. There's so much to be said for the simple life and the easy mannerisms that accompany it. All the gold, satin and velvet in the world can't change whom we are. The wording of your poem is so exquisite. Peace, Love and Blessings Always, Paul.

...beautiful pen of simple pleasure...mornings moments...not so held in the heart of night.
very well penned Leann...
