Night's pallid hush ascends with gentle Grace. Nocturnal fauna nestles back in ground. Precursive solar tendrils peer around Through tatted eyelets in morn's tree-top lace. Faint blushing tiers of pink and crimson hue Unfold soft wisps of streaming cirrus cloud. The meadow's haze of gossamer a shroud, As crystal sheaths submit to glist'ning dew And cautious sunbeams flicker on the rise. Clenched petals stretch to welcome dawning's rays, A valiant beacon bursts forth in full blaze. The Morning Star now masked by azure skies - 'Til breath of life, that brief eternity God's sacred Realm embraces only me. (This is a deviant rhyme scheme, guys) |

Nan, You paint the picture so well here. It's moments like these that one truly feels the presence of God. Makes me want to just bask in the moment. A wonderful sonnet. Michael |

This is borne, and beautifully resonates only from the soul of a true poet--thank you for gracing us with it. ------------------ "Our Creativity points to a Higher Creator--we couldn't have just happened, and for what ability we may possess--to God be the glory." -dlw- |

A wonderful description of dawn. I've only written two sonnets myself, and used the same ryhming scheme as you did--a sort of Italian sonnet, but less rigid. I find sonnets nigh to impossible to write, so I can appreciate how hard they are to put together. Good job. |
