Question: What do you think of 'Bayou Dawn, This Morning' poem!?
Sleeping waters!. Still!.
Polished!. Perfect reflections!.
Streetlights sparkle liquid!.
Dawn rainbows upon black
Trees!. Sentinels!.
A boat passes!. The

Bayou shatters into
Diamonds!.

well, missy E,,, this bit of verse has catapulted me from funk into smiles,,, the images are crystal clear and finer than diamonds!.

thank you!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

A scene similar to many I have seen over the years, and it always lifts me up!. One exception was a river in Vietnam at dawn, calm, mirrored reflections in totally ripple-less water!. Then a North Vietnamese gunboat passed, and there was the sound of heavy weapons mixed with light, a large explosion, and instead of diamonds, the water's surface was as rubies!. Yours is much more desirable!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Peaceful evening boat rides, the wake sparkles in the light!.
Calming, & beautiful!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
