Sunrise....

Dawn bares her rich palette-

Seductive awakening

Tar stained gulls hover-

Scolding thieves

Sea reflects sun's rays-

Blinding illusion

Waves pound the virgin sand-

Tidal release

There is a certain euphoria glimpsed on the beach at dawn. And you've well-captured it here, Amanda. I touched the damp sand.

Some of the best moments in my life have been on a beach at dawn, and you took me back with this verse. Thank you, Amanda.

You always have one line that I love over the others. In this one "scolding thieves". Great work.

Amanda - it is so good to find your work here again. Your gift with words always leaves me awed.

Amanda... "Seductive awakening", indeed. All the images fully rising with the sun. Beautifully rendered.
Anila J. Mar 7, 2007, 5:50am UTC
Beautifully created.

This feels like raw, naked experience on the beach. Existential awareness of joy in spite of the urbanity of the site, the degradation of the shore. Very well done in the building of the phrases to the final dithyramb.

I'll never quite see the sunrise over the ocean the same. Thanks for expanding my vision. The form is so perfect; the words are so flipping creative.
