Here Comes the Light

Dawn Lingers Scattering Violet and Bluish shades of green Across the limpid sky. From craggy high cliff nests Blue rock thrush emerge To sing first notes Of nature’s Morning Hymn. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Merse Poetry Contest Sponsor: Malabika Ray Choudhury Placed 2nd © 21st August 2021

Paul, this is a vividly painted picture of a serene "morning hymn." Every color builds to the conclusion and adds a nuance to the rising dawn - love "limpid sky." So creative. I feel like I have watched a sunrise through your well chosen words and wonderfully crafted lines! Congratulations for your win and blessings to you!
