Photo & Poem
Dawn
An angel, robed in spotless white,
Bent down and kissed the sleeping Night.
Night woke to blush; the sprite was gone.
Men saw the blush and called it Dawn.
~ Paul Laurence Dunbar
I got up one morning just to see the sunrise. This is only part of what I saw. Look, the sky is blushing! This poem by Dunbar was one of the first poems I memorized as a freshman in college. I used to recite this poem to girls on campus and they would smile and say, "that's so romantic." Nowadays, I recite my own poems to my wife and she says, "put it in a book, Bess!" Then, I smile say, "that's so romantic."

Oh, she knows. My wife loves it when I recite poetry to her. There are just those moments when she pushes me to get published and/or submit my work. I call her my wife + manager = Wifanager. :)

I have not done this, but perhaps I will.
Oh brother, you were one of THOSE college guys...running around reciting poetry all heady and deep...LOL!
Listen to your lovely wife...go get published!
Lovely picture. I have gotten up many a morning to see the sun rise. However for me its the moon that I adore.
Thank you, sir.

Don't blame me. I was an English major. My concentration was in African American Literature. I love the stuff. :)Thank you.
