I very much enjoyed reading this poem. My favorite lines were: Amid canyons of columned granite,
Villages of rocks
And also I liked the comparison to little boys who won't sit still among the clouds.
Nice job.

Verna,
Your beautifully-written poem makes the reader imagine the awesomeness of a sunrise.
Your adjectives and metaphors flow nicely. I have seen gorgeous sunrises like this.
A memorable poem, Verna.
Good luck this free verse poem and with all your writing.
Blessings,
Cindy

This poem has exquisite imagery and paints a vivid landscape of a Western landscape. It makes me want to go back and take it all in once again. Good luck in the contest.

All the colors of the picture, all the colors of your poem, work together to put the reader right there. I especially liked cotton candy wisps, matching your image.
We'll done! Good luck with this contest.

Verna, how magnificent! What a splendid gaze around nature as the sun rises, and what an apt and wonderful four- line conclusion. I love it from start to finish. Very best wishes for this in the contest - it will be hard to beat.

Thank you for this marvelous review. I love it! I love this picture of you the best. It shows your personality!

Thank you Verna. I am not at all photogenic so it?s very hard to get a flattering photo. My previous photo disappeared at some unknown point, so I have been fiddling around trying to find another.
I loved your poem!
Comment from Mintybee
A very good poem, with beautiful imagery. The personification of nature in sleeping mountain, flirting clouds and dancing flowers is very descriptive and paints a clear and vivid picture of what you're describing. The language is gorgeous.
