Comment from palmart
Sometimes, what we read is ethereal and others it is connected with the material side of this world. You wisely took a part of each and presented a well balanced poem to enjoy our souls.
Good picture that reflects transition from day to night or vice versa, but brings change as an implicit message. Great Choice!
Thanks for sharing your poetry!

This is so beautiful. I was held with every word. I am sure this poem will place well in the rhyming contest. One I would vote for and I will certainly look for it. Great job.

This Reverie allows us to travel beyond our mundane realms and enter 'a sanctuary from day's alarm'-the tone is meditative 'my heartbeat slows'-sheer joy of poetry experienced here

-Very nice image and
presentation, Tony.
-You wrote a very good
poem for the contest.
-Effective imagery and rhyme.
-There is also a peaceful mood:
"Slow sings the sky its lullaby."
-I also like the first line of
the second stanza with
"a mystic presence flows."
-A very good entry; good luck.

Comment from harmony13
The author's words are calming, clear and creative. I found this poem
to convey a serene transition into the dawn. The poem flows and
connects well. The artwork is perfect and compliments these words.
Hope you and your family are doing well, Tony.....

The transition from night at dawn is a wondrous time and in your poem it literally sings with imagery. Just reading it is calming and stirs my mind to conjuring the peacefullness of the moment. Very nice.

Comment from Pantygynt
I liked the use of alliteration and consonance in this but the thing that makes it unique is the structure, iambic tetrameter alternating with iambic dimeter. Despite the rhyming couplets the difference I line length - one being twice the length if the other - give it a free verse fee.l
