What a beautiful post.
A morning walk, taking in the dawns awakening as life begins its day.
Truly a simple blessing. Wonderful flowing imagery and humble emotion.
Thank you for sharing.

Hello Mike!
What a beautiful and moving poetic offering. It is filled with keen visual and emotive imagery. Congratulations on placing in this contest - and congratulations on actually going out for a walk "with a cup of coffee in one hand and a camera in the other" to photograph the beautiful scene you offer in your well-crafted poem...

Take Care!

Your free verse flows easily, in rhythm with your footsteps on this early morning stroll. I love the way you pause to describe the natural beauty around you. It's an authentic write. Congratulations on the honourable mention in the contest.

Blessings Julia

If anyone is in doubt that there is a God, all they need to do is to look around at His handy work. Man can't create anything as spectacular as this. I like the message of this and enjoyed reading this well written offering. Well done my brother!

In my opinion, an "Exceptional" free verse write, but I have no Six Stars, unfortunately - beautiful and amazing in its fluid movement and lyric quality - a stunning presentation in its entirety...

I love that you can see the positive in everything in nature. While I love your image of the fields ready for harvest and cardinals dance from flowers to vines, those squirrels drive me nuts! Kudos for having a more positive view on all of nature. Good luck in the contest.

This is SO beautiful! I regret having no sixes left! Your poem is alive with details as vivid as the scene you have described--man, creature, and nature all getting ready for winter.

A very well-written poem about a walk on a farm when the sun is about to rise is one of the best things we can experience in the time of the harvest when the farmer sees the value of his hard work.

I've been enjoying quite a few of these walks with those who posted for the contest. I love the rhythm and natural flow in yours. I particularly like the imagery of yesterday's treasures yielding seeds for tomorrow's beauty. Natural cycle of life. Thank you for sharing.
