dawn

she lies

 curled, calm

an angelic ammonite on 

a windswept beach

lost in history 

 dawn smiles

hand searches 

finds

a gentle heart

peacefully sleeping

palm holds 

remembering 

an unknown avian sentry  

warm in a blush

of dreams

love calls

with tidings across

golden shores, green meadows

yesterdays touch

forever

A lovely portrayal of dawn painted with soft colors and a peaceful tone. It readily brings up visual images of nature's beauty and serenity

[emmajoygreen]

Many thanks for yout kind words, Soren. Dawn is true magic.. aim to wake up with it if possible. I wonder if it is as pleased with Mankind to have yet another chance to enjoy the now?

[Soren]

Always wake up long before dawn

[emmajoygreen]

Special.. one of the most beautiful gifts..

A marvelous description of a scene from a movie, so real that I felt I was there looking at the Jurasaic coast and the lapping waves, finding treasures after my stroll.

With care and patience, you might find treasures too, Sami. Over the years have found all sorts!

[Sami Khalil]

OMG! You are right. I found treasures in our friendship and your poetry so to speak.

Lyme Regis is within a lovely scenic location, and sometimes referred to as a "beauty spot". In decades past, I have been once or twice.

A beach can be windswept one day, and then remerge - almost as if unsullied; on warm sunnier days. Much can happen too, on a spartan beach; as it passes through the days. Careless tourists at play, dogs walked and more.

Some moonlit nights, even lovers or solitary walkers may grace the shoreline or beach area; in awe at our earth's natural intrinsic beauty.

This is lovely, and pure poetry to read. With just a few lines, you have managed to express some alluring sentiments.

[emmajoygreen]

Belated but sincere thank yous for such a kind and understanding review, sir.

[andrew mitchell]

There’s always an atmosphere of solitude on the beach, rhythmic in its waves, and an air of clear thinking maybe it’s the salt. Fine writing as always.

[emmajoygreen]

Thank you so much, andrew.. Wishing you yet another happy and warm (?) weekend, sir.

[Julie McCarthy (juliesp..]

They are well dear Emma. Spring is running away from Michigan. But she shall come? I hope you are enjoying the days of Spring.

[emmajoygreen]

Good morning! The sun is shining, only a few clouds, the air is still playing naughty games but.. two out of three is pretty good. Hope you dance the dance if not immediately, soon. :)

Emma!
Wow! I'm a fossil lover, been interested since I was little, and my grandfather, Papa Lindsey, took us on expeditions to look for them. Now I have another reason to visit England! Imagine having a British ammonite on my coffee table. How cool would that be?
I've said for as long as I can remember that if I could choose to be any animal, I would be a seagull... floating wherever I wanted, soaring above the waves, eating all that free seafood! Someone's "avian sentry wam in a blush of dreams"

[emmajoygreen]

I should have guessed that you would be 'into ancient, ancient history! This is part of the Jurassic coast, full of superb sights, walks and items to find, if interested.
Dorset, England would welcome you and Lisa as visitors, believe me. Many thank yours for your enthusiastic review! NB You'd have to be a little wary about being a seagull over here, they're considered vermin in some places!

[Ken e Bujold]

your lines roll up like waves washing upon the shore. beautiful poem, and a joy to read Emma

[emmajoygreen]

Many thanks for your very appreciative review, Ken!
Take care, keep safe, sir.
