The Daybreak Poem by Valsa George

The Daybreak

Rating: 5.0


The distant mountains gleam and glitter
With the sun rising in all his glory
The world awakes to songs and sounds
And takes up all its chores so cheery

The green woods echo the song of birds
Poured in strains of sweet melody
The silvery rills that run through dales
Sizzle and simmer in neat prosody

Birds that leave their nocturnal haunts
Dart to heaven's measureless bounds
Shepherds lead their docile flock
To graze on grassy mountain heights

The spotted deer and the white hare
Come out from their close covert
On the meadows and over the plains
They nibble the grass and run about

Lovely groves and gorgeous gardens
Buzz with the hum of Bumble bees
The agile squirrels with bushy tails
In great vigour, run up the trees

From the boughs of arching trees
Hang the blooms of colourful hue
Wow! They look so exotic to view
Bright with the touch of morning dew

A brilliant glow illumines the earth
And the spell of darkness - come to cease
Casting the cover of snowy mantle
The morn has emerged in serene peace

Like a child that wakes from sleep
Fresh after a night long rest,
The world is once more back to life
With man and beast, so richly blest.

Glorious imagery. Only the gifted eye of poet can see and appreciate the intricate beauties of morning, and share them in such a unique way. Wonderful.

In stanza 6 we find the exotic views of boughs of arching trees blooming in colourful hues. The stanza 7 puts spotlight on the gradual emergence of moon ensuring serene peace...The last stanza is the thread that knits the garland! While reviewing this elegant piece of poetry, I find a lot of joy! Hope many readers would find the work quite enjoyable! A great piece of work!

In stanza 4 we notice a lovely scene of innocent doves coming out from their close covet. We find a very rich description of Lovely groves and gorgeous gardens. Moreover, ‘Buzz with the hum of Bumble bees’, ‘The agile squirrels with bushy tails’ are all lively descriptions ….(cont..)

This is a poem of eight stanzas (all rhyme stanzas make it lyrical) ! I find a smooth liquid movement from top to bottom! The fist stanza depicts the beauty of the distant mountain basking in the glittering rays of sun while the second stanza brings animate effect of chirping birds in the woods ‘The green woods echo the song of birds’ leaving a remarkable scene of the evening where everything is gradually settling down (stanza 3) ..
