Clouds blush faintly in the dawn
As the sun climbs over the eastern shadow.
Purples and pinks streak the morning sky
With freshly fallen dew upon the silky grass.
In the distance, the geese roam the sky
Their wings beat the the song of flight.
And I...
I listen within the tranquil peace of liberty.
I walk down the concrete sidewalk
Amidst the blowing wind.
People stir and awaken to a new day
And the noise begins.
I enter the cafe
Already open
And order a latte
Milky in all its caffinated splendor.
As I sit, I gaze at the wall
Sunlit shadows cut through
And burst into open flame
And lights the cafe
Within its own light.
I sigh and sip the latte
Glad that no one else is there
To disturb my peace.
At the last drop
I throw my cup into the garbage
And leave to walk down
A busier street.
I pass by all others
Oblivious to their breathing.
They are but a blur to me.
And so by that path,
I reach a meadow
And a lay upon the grass
Still wet with morning dew
And I look up and reach
Far above the clouds
Thousands of miles of atmosphere between us
And fall into a deep slumber...
Dreaming of the night to come.

=====
Where in the world did THAT come from? I believe there may be a night poem that follows...? Perhaps.
Until then, farewell. I will be back to give my two cents out. MUAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! *silence* >.< doh.

-Leah

You wouldn't worry about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did.

Oh, this is marvelously written!  You had a lot of very neat themes in here.  I really liked the liquid imagery theme you developed (latte, milky, silky, dew, etc).  It set the texture, scents and sights to be incredibly pleasant.
You are a very talented young lady.  This is SUCH a professional poem.
Yours,
~Allan

Again, you've pulled off a wonderfully written poem, Leah.  The beginning was my favorite.. the first few lines paved the way to an absolutely wonderful poem.  Nicely done!  I look forward to the next...

awesome awesome imagery here... I think you seriously tantalized everyone's senses with this one.  

Life is an open book with many unwritten pages, write something that's meaningful to you there.

I thought you wrote this really beautifully. Great job here!  

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Coffee again.  I'm noticing a pattern.  Anywho.
I could most definately see the picture.  Good job on that.  The beginning really drew me in.  Like Allan said, very professional.  Thanks for the read.

Huh?! Leah...I can't picture you waking up THAT early? AAAAH! LEAH'S SICK!!! Lol, that was well done...as always! *snaps fingers*
This poem sounded...I dunno, it made me feel peaceful! It kinda reminds me of when I goto Starbucks at like 6:00am! *sigh* Memories!

Ooo...Leah!!  
This is great but not totally outstanding like the other one I just read. The feel it has to it is really...umm...trying to find a word for it. Oh! It's really calm. Bad word I know but hey!  
Nice images in it as well with the staggered lines.

Good job Leah. You're just too talented.
