[free image from Bing]

 


stood at the cusp of morning

dainty rose on a thorn etched bush

light of day was still at dawning

ethereal the sky in cloudy scape

through a window view warming

dew still wet and ever present

ever the heart watchful adoring

oh but the birds they will not hush

such is their task of daylight opening

    I love noisy birds in the morning. This is a beautiful and serene morning. Love the magic 9 rhyme of hush and bush.

    I love the idea of standing ‘at the cusp of morning’ and listening to your noisy birds, Gillena, which pop up frequently in your poems – you must be so fond of those chickadees.

    How poor life would be without the Dawn Chorus, Gillena - magically celebrated in your poem...

    A lovely morning magic 9. I too loved the dainty rose on a thorn-etched bush. :

    OH how I love songbirds chirping early in the morning ... how pleasant the alarm. Your Magic 9 is quite lovely, Gillena.

    oh but the birds they will not hush
    such is their task of daylight opening... I love that this is the task of the birds in morning - daylight opening

    Hi Gillena - I borrowed some lines from this poem for a Cento challenge at the Pub - https://how-would-you-know.com/2024/05/lament.html
