Comment from Father Flaps
Hi Fayesh
I think I know what you're trying to accomplish, but I had a difficult time understanding your poem. For example, what makes a dawn "special"? But I do like the order of your first two lines; they sound like a recipe. If there was a different word to describe the "dawn", I wouldn't have a problem with it. I think the soft rain could make the dawn special.
Perhaps,
Take a demure dawn
mix it with soft rain .........and the result is a special sunrise.
The next thing I find hard to understand is "alive",
"The heart awakens alive"
I've given it some thought, but can't suggest anything. I'd like to suggest something like "the heart bursts.........", but I don't know how to finish it off.
Anyway, you have nailed the count... 20 syllables.
Good Luck in the contest! Hope some of this helps.
cheers

Comment from Lucian Carter
Heart-warming and uplifting. Twenty well chosen syllables that come together to make a thing of beauty. I used to sleep til at least noon. Now I'm up early. The morning does have a special wonder to it when one can relax and enjoy it. Your poem captures that feeling wonderfully.

Really excellent in all ways and well deserving the sixth star I don't have. I really enjoyed this work and found it to be really original and outstanding. I cannot suggest a thing to make it any better but shall become a new fan of this fine author as I'm eager to read more! HIS GRAYNESS; Vance

A very well-written poem. When a new day starts, we feel fresh and energized to tackle the day with good intentions. When we can keep our attitude right the day will go well and end in good time.

Comment from Curly Girly
This cheerful, beautiful verse deserves a sunnier image, rather than this grey one. Just my thoughts.
Take a special dawn
mix it with soft rain
The heart awakens alive
with sunrise
Sunshine!...
is bright yellow.
