Morning Dew
Night fog lifted
Gentle morning dew
Dawn-kissed jewels
Sleeps lightly on summer grass
Refreshed and renewed
Awaiting a child’s playful tread
As I stepped out the other morning to head for work, I happened to take a few moments to admire the fresh coating of morning’s dew on our lawn. The way the myriad droplets were just beginning to catch the first rays of the rising sun was just… inspirational!
Few things inspire me to write poetry; I freely admit to being not too much of a poet. I dunno; bein’ an engineer and all, maybe I’m just too literal to be very good at it. But still… when I see something like this, it just makes me want to try. Hope you liked it.
[Note from the proprietor on the poem: Liked it? Hated it? Couldn’t care less? Hey, I’m not too old a dog to learn a few new tricks. If you have any critiques, comments, or suggestions – bring ‘em on!]

You captured the moment…breathtaking and well done!

Hi. I actually enjoyed reading your writing!. Top notch written content. I might recommend you to submit articles a bit more frequently. This way, having such type of a useful site I think you could rank better in the search.

Love it, Robert! What a lovely moment…
@Wendee – Thanks! It just “hit” me…
The image and poem in combination really make the words ring crisp and clear. Lovely poem. I’m glad inspiration struck you that morning.
@Jasmine – Me too! It doesn’t happen often, but when it does…
I am always looking for nice lyrics and poetry to inspire myself and get better results in my own writings.
Nice clear words with a great picture. Like it.
@Michael – Hope it helps, Michael!
Hi,
Loved the poem! The photo was beautiful too, there really is nothing as refreshing as morning dew.

@Val – Thanks and a tip o’ the hat to ya, Val!
Nice piece and very cool photo. It reminds me of where I came from. It’s a place where there is always a dew before the morning sunshine.
Thanks, for sayin’ so, Reyven!
Really nice photo and and the poem is pretty good too… at least for an engineer!
Interesting that the blog page showed “No Response Yet” on this post but when I click to comment there are actually 16. Something must not be working to count the comments.
I remember writing a guest post here, I think in response to a prompt from you to readers to tell what they learned from 2007. Amazing, three years ago! And we are both still at it. That is even more amazing.

@Will – Uh, “for an engineer”?! Hey, I resemble that remark!
Hey, I thought your name sounded familiar! I guess we’ve both learned a thing or two over the years, wouldn’t ya say?
