Yes you certainly did capture the hope and renewal a sunrise brings us in just these two beautifully worded lines.
I wish you luck in the contest.

Peter,

This is a beautiful poem. You are correct there is nothing better than watching the sun rise and listening to all the birds sing their hearts out until they are content. Your poem did capture the essence of what you were trying to say. The picture compliments the poem quite nicely.

Well done my friend

Cecilia

Indeed your poem captures my new day. Your words of inspiration before my sunrise or the music on the radio prepares
me for all the blessings of this day. Keep writing. Keep hope alive in our heart.

A short two line poem can seem a simple task, Peter.
Yet it is seldom that.
Finding the right subject is just part of it, you then have to capture the essence of the subject in a tiny space.
I can easily write a sonnet or long poem extolling the sunrise, doing it in two lines and maintaining the impact is a tough job and here, well done.

    Hi Tim
    Thank for your encouraging and sincere words. I agree—brevity can be deceptively difficult! There’s something about distilling an idea into its purest form that makes short poems both a challenge and a joy. I’m glad this one resonated with you.
    Bless you and take care.

The wording of your poem and the presentation both very nicely captures the awakening of the new day. I enjoyed it very much especially enjoyed the image you used with it. It is a very striking photo of sunrise. Patricia.

    Thank you, Patricia! I’m so glad you enjoyed both the poem and the image. There’s something magical about a sunrise, and I’m happy this piece captured that feeling for you.
    The rising sun awakens the avian early risers, and thus, the dawn chorus starts. Magical.
    Bless you and take care

This two-line poem, Dawn's Radiant Embrace, has the proper formatting and sees the beginning of yet another day and another chance to do all that needs done.

A beautiful vision you've created here, Peter.... I would simply suggest the removal of all but the first comma as the rest are not necessary in this short form and actually takes away from the natural flow of the beauty you are creating... Thanx for sharing and best of luck! ;)
