This is my very late response to the Cosmic Photo Challenge, for which this week’s theme is In the Morning Light, so I took these photos in my back yard this morning at around 6:15.


Psalm 103 inspired this cinquain:
Give thanks
For everything:
Morningtime is hopeful,
Looking up at sunrising sky
With clouds
Wanting to extend this theme, I wrote a Chaucerian stanza next:
The clouds of morning bring with them a hope:
A cotton-candy pink like sweetest blush
Colors their face, as languidly they lope
Across the sky, amidst the gentle hush
Of morning. Currently there is no rush.
I hear birds chirp and revel in the sound,
Hope beauty is unclouded, evening-gown’d.
