Morning Poem by Valerie Dohren

Morning

Rating: 4.9


Gladly shall I greet the morning
At the rising of the sun
All the land so bright illumined -
Hail another day begun

Hearken to the sweet birds singing
Songs all hearts to thus delight
Every soul to full awaken
Bidding their farewell to night

Fresh the dew upon the branches
Chilled the early scented air
Night's dim shadows softly fading -
Golden ribbons everywhere

Shimm'ring sunbeams fill the arbours
Spreading light as angels' wings
Spirits dance to greet the dawning -
Joy and hope the new day brings

Soft notes turning to crescendo
Dawn is like a symphony
As the light grows ever stronger -
Nature in full harmony

Yet another sunrise beckons
Waking all from slumber deep
Open wide the shuttered windows -
As the daybreak ends your sleep

A bright morning with new hope and, fresh desire to live as a new person are presented beautifully. A painter you are!

A delightful homage to the new day. Oh to let closed shutters keep, so I could have a lit' more sleep. Thank you.

I've relished your melodious verse as much as your positive mood greeting the morning. The beautiful imagery used conveys to us brightness, light, joy and hope. Indeed, Nature in full harmony. Maria

Valerie, What a delight you are to read. Am hoping that this comment takes as in the past they have not. More or less gave up. Anyway, your poetry just shines not unlike the break of day!

among many morning poems, this poem is number one for its delicate graphic description and the usual Valerie Dohren brand of immaculate rhyming...! ! !
