Dawn broke,
and she tumbled into
bed.
Dawn broke,
and I sensed her through
the murky clouds
of vague dreams.
Dawn broke,
and I thought I sensed
her good morning
kiss upon my bare
shoulder.
Dawn broke,
and I stirred awake,
climbing out of the
darkness of slumber,
and into the morning
light.
Dawn broke,
and I twisted beneath the
sheets,
looking into her warm
brown eyes,
freckled cheeks broken
into a soft smile.
Dawn broke,
and slipping into her arms,
and brushing her soft lips,
I felt the glow,
the warmth of the dawn,
as the first day of the
rest of my life began.
I applaud your strategic use
I applaud your strategic use of the phrase, "Dawn broke . . ." as an organizing pattern in the poem.
