A nice poem. I especially like the first line. The rhyming is inconsistent which threw me off a bit when reading it the first time. A good response to the challenge, my friend~Debbie

It's amazing how everyone writing about this picture see it in a different way. I like your description of the night ending and the beginning of a new day. Your words are very relaxing and reassuring. The flow is good, with nice rhyming. Good job with this write.

Good inspirational poem. You should use a diierent picture. There are three poems that use tis same picture on this page. When I look for a poem to read i first look at the picture to see if I have already read it. I passed this poem up several times because I recognized the picture.

    Thanks for the comments. This picture is used by a group to write on. Every two weeks we receive the picture to write a poem with it. That is why there are many with the same picture it is a picture prompt group.

Prayer does rise with the sun
Bringing forth life to abide
Soon the night will come again
May this day with God begin


Let in ev'ry heart there be
full of love, not enmity,
hapiness, frivolity,
rich with peace and harmony

Never Him should thou forsake
nor give evil nary break
Read His word, thus be inspired
there the flames of hope are fired...

Danpald, this is an enjoyable interpretation you have written for the picture challenge. It gives appreciate to nature and adds a spiritual side in prayer.

Just a couple of comments if I may. I would suggest a different word for 'come' in the second stanza as you used it in the the first, second and third lines.

Soon the bright day will come
Now the moment to pray has come
With the dawn of new found light
Comes the desire toward a better life' ........get rid of apostrophe.

Perhaps consider a tweak - for example

Soon the bright of day will shine
Now the moment to pray has come
With the dawn of new define
Gives desire to better life

You have also used the word 'light' in the first, second and third stanza. Perhaps change it slightly so there is no over use and keep the rhythm more consistent in meter.

I would also remove the word 'now' in the last line.

I hope this helps. Normally this many adjustments would warrant a four star but I feel you will make the amendments and I like what you have written so happy to award the 5 stars if that's ok :-) ~DD

Dan, I like how you use the sunrise as a call to prayer of thanksgiving and guidance throughout the day. Your faith shines forth from this poem.
