In Praise of Dawn [E] Word Prompts: soar, rainbow, wings, delight, field, sting, colorful, wind. |
Dear Prosperous Snow celebrating , Wow, I had no idea how complex this poem was until I popped open the link to poet's note. The rhyme scheme is very ambitious. I realized I hadn't even noticed the rhyme scheme after two reads and had to read through "In Praise of Dawn" again to pay closer attention. I really did realize I had caught that rhyme with that triple rhyme in last two lines of first stanza. It's actually quite impactful with the short lines. Making use of those prompt words included one expression that caught my eye, 'soar thought' which for some reason made me think of 'sore'. I don't know if this is a stumbling block other reader's face. Apparently, I'm reading with an auditory eye. I felt this to be a very spiritually connected poem without concrete images that connect to that reality. I did like that contrast at the end with the final verse where night is destroyed by that sunrise. It felt like hope for a new day. It was like getting through a difficult night but realizing with a beautiful sunrise, all is right again. Very connected to nature. This was a pleasure to read and consider to inform me and lend my reactions. Brian My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
