Sun Rise
By brook_rivers
10 September 2006
I arose early one morn,


To witness the break of dawn,


The beautiful image of the sun being reborn,


As the pale blue sky was magnificently torn,
 

Into a thousand pieces


As the intensity of the sun’s rays ripped through it:-


Orange, yellow, red and a deep, unassuming plum.

Like 'Faerie Blossom,' you've captured the essence of a picture again. I really liked your observations, you seem to have a talent for painting pictures in my head. 
 
I was a bit confused with 'unassuming plum,' but this might only be me. 
 
Liked this a lot, 
 
All the best, 
 
Phil.

thanks for your review Phil 
 
I have to confess I did put the 'unassuming plum' there just to confuse people!!

You've captured the early dawn so exactly, I could see it before me..  
 
I liked the 'unassuming plum' its uniqueness complemented the poem and made it more special. 
 
A really lovely poem...well done, Brook. 
 
Best wishes

You've captured sunrise exactly. What a world if we couldn't appreciate the beauty of nature. Well done!

I liked this Brook, you paint quite a vivid picture. I thought the `unassuming plum` was a little too deep for my humble brain- so was relieved to hear your reason for putting it there in the first place! 
 
happy writing

thanks for the comments everyone. I am glad simple poems are still able to get a good reaction!  
 
Brook :)
