Very, very nice poem. Good flow; easy to follow. I especially like that you used a word I had to look up - "sate". Thanks for expanding our horizon.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This a beautifully written piece Debbie. Your poetic skills are obvious with great rhyming, rhythm and imagery. It's a very positive piece, that has a profound message that I'm taking from it; to be grateful for what we have, and stay open to new opportunities that may present themselves. Every day can bring something exciting if we allow it to. It's a great write in every way as far as I'm concerned and deserves the 6 stars I have to give! xxxx deb

Wow Debbie this is awesome. Quatrains but with a verve of their own. I really enjoyed this:

Sun rays drop below horizon, evening ends
Be thankful for good times and friends
Our day's experiences, poor and great
Increase our next morning's sate

what a lovely poem ... there is nothing
better than catching mother nature at
her best .. early morning walks are the best
for me watching every bud awaken
thanks for sharing

I love the positive focus of this but there are a couple of spots that are a bit rough. For instance, the last line of the 1st and last stanzas. It might flow better if it said "A new beginning this day will bring." I know you were trying to do the poetic thing but because you are trying to rhyme, you may want to reconsider the way you phrase it to fit the rhyme and smooth out the flow of the reading.

For the most part, I really like it, though. Even if you left it as is, it is okay. I just think that the change suggested might make it a bit smoother to read.
