Daybreak

[AlexandratheLate]

Daybreak


Drapes of silk shimmer in shades
of peach, grays and blue
Daybreak is inviting me, explore
The vast ocean skies
like loose folds of fabric
Slowly fading for the pearlescent
sun's debut
Then like ballroom dancing
The clouds slide on the heavenly
dance floor
As the bright light engulfs me
in its warmth

Something of a departure for you, Alexandra, in terms of structure; you of the three quatrains and sonnet You have brought music to this piece, which - when the structure is less rigid - is a real challenge. All the devices are at play here, and that is a delight to see and hear.

[AlexandratheLate]

Thank you Grant. Yes I'm trying different types although the sonnets are my favorite - variety makes life more interesting.

Alexandra, this is truly beautiful! Normally I struggle to understand poems without rigid structure (a sign of my poetical inexperience), but this works brilliantly! And I just love the connection between "blue" and "debut" that make it seem almost like the whole poem is written in perfect end-of-line rhyme!

Sometimes a hint of rhyme works even better than obvious line-to-line rhyme.

[AlexandratheLate]

Thank you very much Anatoliy. I appreciate the high praises. It was beautiful and my inspiration.
