A sliver of hope
glimmers on the horizon
A dark bud opens
delicate petals unfurl
Hope blossoms, filling the sky

Thanks, Kristie!
BEAUTIFUL photos, great tanka (I didn't count). Well done.
Thanks, John! I was lucky to be out for a walk right when the sun rose. Yep, it has correct syllable count. 🙂

Thanks! 😁
The light at dawn is inspiring, Siobhan. Great choice. Beautiful images.
Thank you!
Hope in a Sunrise was just the boost to my hope I needed as I looked out at a sunrise that's beauty was almost impossible to capture in words until I experienced this poem. I will be sharing this website and poem in my Epiphany sermon January 3rd. Thank you!
So glad you liked my little poem! Thank you for sharing it. We have had some spectacular sunrises recently.
