At Dawn

unnamed

At Dawn

The hours dangle before me
like ripe plums
sweet and full of promise

Rising early
I reach for one
and take a lusty bite

I love rising early and greeting the day. Last weekend, on a very misty, moisty morning, I headed to the beach. It was delicious!

    Wonderful comparison of time to a plum in the first stanza.

    If dawn is a ripe plum, sunset is a red rose in full blowsy bloom. Alas, I cannot share your lust for early mornings. 😴 (But I love your skeletal bird claw driftwood.)

    I am a morning person too. And I love the idea of hours as plums, ripe and juicy, and just waiting to be bitten. I’m jealous that you get to go to the beach whenever you want!

    Molly, that poem mixed with your photos is just right for my Sense-sational Spring Gallery. You bring to the reading experience the senses of sight, taste, and touch. Would you like to package those and send them to me for the gallery? (invitation: http://beyondliteracylink.blogspot.com/2018/04/spring-salutations-with-invitation-to.html

    I too love the early morning hours… and there are none better than the ones along the surf! Wonderful poem, Molly.
