Dawning After Night Virginia Salter Sun climbs the firmament stretching its beams painting golden faces on the fronts of the eaves Like yellow satin ribbons they glimmer in the light above the forest fern a green and leafy sight House plants reach east to grab all they can take drinking in the sunshine like a frosty morning shake I sit here and soak though the temperature is chill the morning light of dawning with adept sun-soaking skill Good morning, Friend Good morning, Foe Good morning, all you on the go stop and seek a bit of bright from the dawning after night © May 13, 2000 |

The title of this poem is as beautiful the artistic lines beneath it. Written so well. You paint very beautifully. Quiet Thunder, rumble |

Virginia, first, IWIHWT....second...it would be a lovely thought to think you had written this for me....third....since you didn't, I still need to let you know that I beamed with every line, for it is indeed, a keeper, and into my library it goes.... |

Virginia, when you rise to greet the day, it creates beauty for everyone. Soft smiles. Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Thought I'd drink me another morning shake. Some things are worth repeating...especially real poetry. Observe the animals and they shall teach you the nature of life in man. Observe the earth and it shall reveal the nature of life in God. |

Very beautiful, Virginia! You've painted a lovely picture here! Hey, can I have one of those frosty morning shakes? (great line!) |

thank you all, you've made some wonderfully encouraging comments on this one, one I had thought rather mundane until your remarks opened my eyes to some of the lines that are perhaps more unique, painting vividly with words is something I so try to do, thank you for showing me I sometimes succeed. |
