The presentation is wonderful. The photo and colors create a mood that the poem follows through from beginning to end. I love this. The poem is soft and lilting as if a morning song, relates to birds early in the am. Very well constructed. Good Job

This is a most satisfying poem to read. I've now read all of them in this contest and like the way you have done your repeating line in this piece. The meter is excellent and the rhymes too, but the story you tell is quite beautiful. I think this will do very well in the contest. It is truly lovely.

And what is that Golden Rule...up for interpretation of one's moral character and belief. A wonderful poem that reads of peace, clarity and goodness. Enjoyed.

    Thank you for your thoughtful and encouraging review. So pleased that you liked this one. For me the Golden Rule is simple "do onto others as you would have them do to you". Sounds simple but it isn't always".

The lines flow with style according to the imagery and title.
My favorite part:
"Each day begins a mystery
to solve before day turns to night.
If we obey the 'Golden Rule"
there's promise in the dawn's first light."
Congratulations!

This is an absolutely wonderful poem with the iambic meter excellently done. The repetition line advances perfectly to become the climax line. Well done indeed and good luck in the contest,

This is a very effective piece of poetry. The secret with all these poems that repeat lines or portions of lines is to make the repetions unobtrusive. And with this quaterne, where the repeated line cascades down through subsequent stanzas, you have certainly achieved that and excelled the simple instructions for the entry.

I particularly liked the way you pointed up the dawn chorus of the birds with line of splendid alliteration on the S.
