This work has reached the exceptional level

A perfect moment inspired expressed eloquently. The imagery you infused in these few words is magical. Your front porch must have the most awe inspiring sunrises to inspire this magnificent write.

Simply brilliant.

All the best in the contest.

    Wow! Thank you so very much for your review, Eugene, and a very special thanx for those wonderful stars - they were a wonderful start to my day!! :) I always am so appreciative for folks truly reading and analyzing my work; it really does mean much to the author that folks see more than just the words on a page since, in many cases, that's what poetry is! :) :) :) Enough of my ramblings, though -- thank you and I wish you a wonderful remainder of the week with lots of sunshine and passing clouds to stimulate your imagination!! :) :)

This speaks a metaphoric scale of romantic behaviour sentiment of making sexual appeal in the dewy morning for ecstatic enjoyment freely before the sunrise in grace of Nature; well said, well done. Keep Writing -- DR ALCREATOR

This is a very nice, refreshing poem! I particularly like the line about the ''sweet morning dew''. The only thing I wanted to ask is where the romance comes in? I probably am missing something, but it seems to be more a nature poem than a romance poem....just my personal opinion, and I'd be happy to have that refuted:-) I wish you well in the contest! Blessings

    Thanx for your review, Therese, - always appreciate folks taking time to review my work! :) This is more for the older generation, I suppose, but I will say that it will all become clear if you do a quick investigation into the double entendre contained in the first line...gives the whole poem a different 'feel'. ;) wink, wink ;) Have a wonderful week ahead, ma'am! :) :)

Meditation is the first word which came to mind after reading this poem. Your photograph is lush and paired beautifully with the story. Much hope in these words.

    Thanx for your review, Shauna, - always appreciate folks taking time to review my work! :) And (not that it really matters...) I think I'm feeling pretty old having to point this out (but c'est la vie, oui? lol), but there is a hidden message in here if you do a quick investigation into the double entendre contained in the first line...gives the whole poem a different 'feel'. ;) wink, wink ;) Blessings for a wonderful week ahead, ma'am! :) :)

I don't understand. Why the sexual content warning??? After reading your poem, I was not aroused. This is an excellent contest entry. According to my physic, departed grandma, you will win and split the money with me. I'll email you my mailing address.

    Thanx for your review, Thomas, and I like your grandma's foresight especially since its 'heaven sent'! ;) :) In fact she should be able to answer your question for if you read the first line to her.....it is a bit of an 'older' reference. ;) wink, wink ;) Have a wonderful week ahead, sir! Cheers! :) :)

Inspiring and inspired poetry! Invites the reader to "be still" and ponder the wonder displayed in a flower, a sunrise, a new day....
