#Quadrille: Natural Magic
I awoke before dawn today
because I wanted to see
The exquisite magical sun
coming up in the far east
As our closest star rose up
into a brush-stroked sky
A brilliant sheen illuminated
low drifting clouds
In tangerine shades
surrounding a golden eye

That is so beautiful. I can almost feel the warm glow through the window! Lately I don’t get up early enough to see the sunrise, but where I live it is hard too, I am surrounded by trees!

This has a real Wordsworth feel to it, with the meter that worms its way into the reading and the unexpected rhyme scheme. And like Wordsworth it begs to be read aloud. Lovely.
