Disasters, Delights and Other Detours - 25. Sapphic Dawn
I am grateful to Northie for suggesting this form. I know it isn't perfect, but I can only say in my defense that I was up far too early getting inspiration. If it grates, at least it has the merit of being short.
Dawn upon the eastern horizon growing,
bathing birch and tamarack, redly glowing,
over marsh and mountainside, new light showing,
waking the meadow;
Torn the long night's circumspect silent shadow,
sweet the notes first sounded with great bravado,
echoes now the hopeful white throated sparrow,
calling his soul mate;
"Hey, Sam, Hey Sam Peabody," sung with slow weight,
outsized heart cry mournfully fills the lea gate,
that with daylight one speckled bird may locate
ardor o'erflowing.
As always, I value your thoughts and reactions.
