Dawn

AN angel, robed in spotless white,
Bent down and kissed the sleeping Night.
Night woke to blush; the sprite was gone.
Men saw the blush and called it Dawn.

    Awesome

    From guest Tanzanite (contact)
    This was beautiful and has the flow of a lullaby almost. It is gentle and soft as a kiss and a blush would be. The piece is beautiful and deceptively simple. I am going to read more of this poet's work.

    This speaks of so much beauty in such a simple fashion - it has a quiet way of making a loud statement, beautifully executed by Mr Dunbar.

    A vignette takes the flesh of creativity from the bone of reality and devours a mean emotion...Great choice!

    Oh beautiful. And I NEVER see a four line rhyming poem like this. When it's short, it's always a haiku. lol. How completely charming this one was. It's an interesting way for me to explain to my kids what a sunrise is! Fantastic.
