“…rocking the glittering coach”.
The Dawn is a poem written by William Butler Yeats which was in a poetry book I own titled, “Poems for Morning”. It is not in Litsy‘s database.
The photo is one I took a recent early morning at dawn.
Lynn I loved reading everyone‘s poems each day this month! Thanks for creating this challenge!

This is from Watching the Perseids by Jeff Myers. This book of poems chronicles his father‘s treatment for & death due to cancer, as well as his own responses to the aftermath of his father‘s dying & death. It is authentic, raw, heartbreakingly beautiful.
This book was not in our database.
If you take a photo of this post & enlarge you can read the poem.

I‘m hosting a poetry challenge in April for National Poetry Month. I plan to write 1 poem a day & created a list of prompts. 🖋️
If you don‘t want to write a poem, then the challenge is to read 1 poem a day (bonus if you read one that fits the prompt). 🎉
