Sunrise Along Shore -- Lucy Maud Montgomery

       
(Poem #1105) Sunrise Along Shore
 Athwart the harbor lingers yet
     The ashen gleam of breaking day,
 And where the guardian cliffs are set
     The noiseless shadows steal away;
 But all the winnowed eastern sky
     Is flushed with many a tender hue,
     And spears of light are smiting through
 The ranks where huddled sea-mists fly.

 Across the ocean, wan and gray,
     Gay fleets of golden ripples come,
 For at the birth-hour of the day
     The roistering, wayward winds are dumb.
 The rocks that stretch to meet the tide
     Are smitten with a ruddy glow,
     And faint reflections come and go
 Where fishing boats at anchor ride.

 All life leaps out to greet the light --
     The shining sea-gulls dive and soar,
 The swallows whirl in dizzy flight,
     And sandpeeps flit along the shore.
 From every purple landward hill
     The banners of the morning fly,
     But on the headlands, dim and high,
 The fishing hamlets slumber still.

 One boat alone beyond the bar
     Is sailing outward blithe and free,
 To carry sturdy hearts afar
     Across those wastes of sparkling sea;
 Staunchly to seek what may be won
     From out the treasures of the deep,
     To toil for those at home who sleep
 And be the first to greet the sun.
-- Lucy Maud Montgomery
I occassionally enjoy these quiet little picture poems, that do nothing more
than describe a scene, and do so unsurprisingly but well. Today's is a
trifle over-adjectived, but charming enough; I think what tipped the balance
for me was the last line, with its utterly senseless act of beauty placed on
an equal footing with seeking the treasures of the deep and toiling for
those at home.

It doesn't hurt, too, that for sheer natural beauty dawn is my favourite
time of day - it lent that little extra to the poem's images that made all
the difference.

I like to make horror poetry although some people have told me that's not art, I hope that someone understand my kind of poetry and the way I see everything.

Aw, this was an extremely good post. Spending some time and actual effort to make a

never manage to get nearly anything done.

First off I would like to say awesome blog! I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing. I've had a hard time clearing my mind
in getting my ideas out there. I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just
seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted just trying to figure out
how to begin. Any ideas or tips? Many thanks!

Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using? I'm going
to start my own blog soon but I'm having a tough time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had
to ask!

I think that you should write more about this topic, it may not be a taboo
subject but generally people do not talk about these issues.
