I believe that I'll try it one of these days, probably soon. <br /><br />Your poem left my chest tight and my eyes shining. The first stanza is rich with imagery that pulled me right into the speaker's headspace. Then, we get to the end, and it's impossible not to share in the pain, in the longing, in the spilling of tears. This is what they mean when they say bittersweet--beautiful and heartbreaking.

I’ll keep it in mind this week. I have written a fair few poems about sunrise, but yours is so poignant and hopeful, and made me cry too. I love the way the light pervades the poem, starting by ‘falling over the fence’, so familiar and similar to the light that starts at the gate at the end of our garden. Kim M.
