Harbinger of Hope...

3/29/2023

Hello dear blog friends,

Each week writer Colleen Chesebro offers a poetry prompt and invites a response. This week she asks us to share the view outside your window through a syllabic poem.

Every morning, I awaken when it is still dark outside. The silence feeds my soul. Around 6:00 A.M., Mountain Standard Time, the sun peeks over the mountains. Some days, like today, it hides in the clouds, but just as often it rises in full glory. I enjoy watching the sunrise through my window, as I suspect you do as well. ❤️

My poem is a simple haiku. If the grandeur of the rising sun is a prelude for what awaits us, we've much to celebrate. Have a wonderful day.

That's beautiful, Gwen. Morning light is such a special experience.

So true, Dan. And because of the elevation and stretches of flat or low rolling hills, this area has magnificent sunrises -- and sunsets. 😊

What a spectacular haiga, Gwen. I think northern Arizona gets some of the most beautiful skies around.🩵

Thank you, Tim. A night owl, I'm not. But Saturday I'm visiting Lowell Observatory, so I suspect I'll see the night sky as never before. 😊
