would you care to comment on this poem?

DAWN

by C.S. Scotkin

The Witness sits, reports the end of dark.

She quiet stares, her senses fill and wake

As gangly young persimmons learn to dance

In cool transmuted vaguely wintered breeze.

A crescent Moon smiles wide at Perseus

Who throws a shooting star to welcome her.

Horizons in the East become shell pink,

A silhouetted possum ambles by.

Hears morning singers, sweetly dissonant,

Keep time to ancient pulses from the Earth

Then quiet down, they hold their breaths to look

At Brightness spilling through the fronds of palms.

Small pond has gone to gold while herons fish

And carillons of men begin to play.

    Nice and refreshing, a lot of the writers who regularly post on here post things that you don't usually see in poetry but many who don't post cliched poetry.

    So I haven't seen you around the block? I'm Aspira.

    Definitely good, nice and original, I liked it!

    Yes, Sonnet Maestra, this is a fine poem. I especially like the expression, "sweetly dissonant." Fresh and new expression is hard to find, especially when we write of a universal theme.
