Hi, Roy,
I enjoyed this 5-7-5 about the hope that comes with each new day and I appreciated the scripture that inspired your theme.
Great picture to support the poem!
I wish you luck with this splendid entry.
Have a great day, Bill

A 5-7-5 poem. The poem is a reflection of love in an early morning. The picture of and early morning sun beaming and shining upon a river or a brook heralds a new hope of an incoming day, which is the essence of the poem. I love the theme and the wordings, very meaningful and impressive. Dom

Beautiful photograph to enhance this lovely and hopeful write. You draw a beautiful inspiration from the book of Lamentations. A herald of mercy, indeed.

I too love the early morning.

Nice work. Good luck in the prompt contest.

Best wishes,
Lena

Thanks Lena for this insightful review, some people didn't get the 'mercy' bit, I had to explain, new beginning-fresh hope=merciful (God), thanks again, blessings, Roy.

Lovely picture and beautiful message in your poem Roy. Interesting that you would choose Lamentations for a message of hope. I usually think Lamentations is about destruction and despair. Thanks for making me take another look.

Blessings
Janet

Thanks Janet for the inspiring review, you have made my day, 5/7/5s don't usually attract 6stars, so thank you my friend. I was sweet on a girl called Janet when I was a boy, but she not so with me! Just thought I'd throw that in, but my wife is my dream girl, just some of my by nonsense for the day! Blessings, Roy.

"Early morning.", is an exceptionally well-written and heart-warming piece. Short, succinct and very much to the point. This talented poet's work was a delight to read and review.

Your format is correct but your message is somewhat vague in this particular piece. I think these short ones are the hardest and for me personally, I must admit I do not always see what they are all about. Kiwi
