DAYBREAK: An Original Acrostic

I’ve been a bit “under the weather” for about a month—and therefore not posting as often here of late or at Political Verses. I just started having acupuncture treatments this week—and they seem to be helping with my problem.

Here’s one of my acrostics for Poetry Friday. Unfortunately, dawn arrived without a bright sunshiny face where I live this morning.

Dawn, dressed in a bright blue robe

And golden slippers,

Yawns awake. Stars scurry away.

Breaking into song, birds

Rouse the sun,

Eager to start

A new day. Morning bounds out of bed with delight,

Kicking off the dark cover of night.

At Blue Rose Girls, I have three poems for my daughter Sara. The poems were written by Naomi Shihab Nye, James Lenfestey, and Margaret Atwood.

Kelly Polark has the Poetry Friday Roundup today.
