I enjoyed this very much. You captured the awakening of a new day in subtle and clear language.
Congratulations on the Spotlight. A very clear choice.

Mauve is marvy - this pastoral piece was beyond the present cacophony of words and worthy of so much more than I could add - well done!

The descriptions of dawn are so grand that it's impossible not to feel a spark of life from this and want to get up and feel the world coming alive. It's better than any alarm clock, that's for sure!
You've used just a touch of personification in this one, lines 5 through 8 are a particularly strong example of adding colour and character with that approach, and I thought the use of birdsong to add some sound to the moment also worked well to play on another one of the senses.
A really enjoyable read, congratulations on the spotlight.

Hi Sue...this was definitely a piece more than worthy of the Spotlight my friend! It's quite a different piece from you recently, and well it's truly beautifully written as most of your writing's are....I loved the reference to "mauve" and "salmon" quite unique....CONGRATULATIONS! :heart: Musie

Jovel, dwells, Everhopeful and musie, you all are such huge talents and such fine examples for me to emulate, my appreciation knows no bounds. Thank you one and thank you all, for all you share with me.
