Awake In The Morning Poem by Anand Brown

Awake In The Morning

Rating: 3.5


Have you ever been awake in the morning?
To see the golden
Line hug the horizon when
Sun meets Earth.Feel the
Cool-cool breeze upon your face,
As it holds onto the air,
While sparrows shake their fluffy bodies
In a ceremonial preparation for the day.

The silent noise that overwhelms the
Aura of order over the dead people,
Cadaverous with sleep!
Roosters boisterously lift their heads acutely into the air
And proclaim to the heavens above
That night has lost the battle.

The fog sits pleasantly over
Green-green grass
And the trees stretch their branches
As they wake.
The little sparrows
Chirp-chirp a melody with happy heart,
While Venus dominates the
Blue-blue sky.

When man wakes it is
Too-too late,
For nature has already displayed its
Simple wonders.

Nice description of early morning, I don't know a poet who has not written some thing on the morning. You have nicely performed your poetic duty.

Like this a lot Anand. Like the opening line' the double-adjectives giving it joy and energy; the metaphor of touch hugging, holding the air etc; and the rhythm of the end! A few bit jar - 'acute' vs 'boisterous &' 'silent noise' of the feathers, just when you've got this lovely soft tactical vibe going on. But lovely to capture that 'nearness' of the dawn tradition. Will read more.

What you say in the final stanza is really true: most humans wake up AFTER nature's beautiful performance, and even if we would be awake we'd be too busy getting ready for work. So there is the key reason for a lyric poem like yours: it captures this natural beauty so that we can appreciate nature through literature. And your poem offers us a thorough experience of these daily wonders. In the first stanza alone, there are sight, sound and touch images, and the visual image of THE GOLDEN LINE where sun and earth meet is breathtaking. (I'm going to look for that golden line this summer!) I liked the reference to VENUS in the blue sky; she is the only figure outside of nature in the poem. Could she be the Anima figure like a daylight SARAH?

Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise so says the proverb. Here the poet proclaims the benefit of early awakening and its experience in detail which is very interesting since I am already an early rising person and taking my exercises in dawn which is very interesting. Good poem sir.
