Beautifully bucolic! Sunrise as artist, painting morning's delicate embroidery across pastural landscape, awakening the dreamer. :-)
Wonderful job wrangling the form into submission :-)

Very well done in following the prompt. I also liked the poem's very easy flow. None of the lines seemed forced. The imagery was great too.

Rahul, thanks for the kind words.

Never heard of Rhopalic Verse. You make it sound easy the way your poem flows beautifully, but I could imagine it's quite restrictive to be so tied to syllable count even in the individual words. Well done. :)

This is a new kind of poetry to review for me but from what I count in syllables you have aced this contest. Your poem speaks for itself and I think that is exactly what they want. Great poem and great job.

This poem is descriptive and creates a colorful image in the reader's mind. The poem requirements are challenging--this poem seems to have mastered them as each line begins with one syllable words and grows--but this poem doesn't seem forced for the sake of making words fit the syllable count. It has a strong , positive flourish.

Mornings. Who needs them? Not my favorite time of day. Well written poem depicts the harshness of having to get up and face another one. Should also be a good contest entry.

Comment from NJK62
I really enjoyed reading this poem written in a form with which I was unfamiliar. The first stanza vividly conveys the brilliance of the morning scene: the image of dawn as an artist is highly effective in emphasizing the colours of the scene: the words 'richly', 'radiant' and 'iridescent' tied together by the consonance emphasize the brightness and complexity of the colours of the scene. This idea is vividly picked up and reinforced in the second stanza in the metaphors: 'golden needlepoint' and 'intricate embroideries'. The scene is bewitching, but slowly you come round and the image 'disintegrates' and 'unravels'. This is a successful poem and I hope you do well in the competition.

The dawn for me is the most fascinating part of the day, with its different nuances and moods. Good descriptions and imagery to convey your thoughts. Lovely picture to complement, good luck in the contest. faye
