Day Of Posing Poem by Celeste Butler Mendez

In the early morning hours
when the sun still lies asleep
with the stars lights slowly dimming,
a garden stirs without a peep

There's a mist and dew dropp air
sprinkling flowers with warm delight
and a kiss from moisture sweet
brings them abloom with mornings light.

Through day, picture perfect still;
camera's shutters tell a story.
there's the richly colored petals
of roses, lilacs, morning glory.

The nightfall and twilight breeze
has trembling petals closing.
they'll rest well and through the night
for tomorrows day of posing.
