a modern sonnet in praise of fairies and new days
Daybreak
by adewpearl
for those who rejoice in the dawning of a new day
When sun's first rays on spider webs glisten, meadowlarks' songs signal morning's arrived. Porch wind chimes whisper, and as we listen, we hear all creation coming alive. As fairies awake to daybreak's splendor, their filigreed wings begin to unfold, till dawn's touch upon their wings so tender increases their beauty at least tenfold. Very few beings in God's dominion derive so much beauty from dawn's first light. Indeed, there are those who voice the opinion fairies are daybreak's most beautiful sight. Fairy wings sparkling beneath shimm'ring rays blossom like rosebuds' enchanted bouquets. |

Please read for cadence and not for meter, as this is a characteristic of the modern sonnet and a style I naturally fall into :-)
