Beautiful words at the dawn of a gorgeous day:
Unrivaled sunrise

Lightly touch hearts' joy within

Awaken senses

There is nothing like the dawn of a warm, calm day to gladden the heart.

And good luck to you too, that is a hard call sometimes. I would love to win, but then I read someone else's and 'root' for them. Maybe we will all tie for first place. LOL I'm glad you enjoyed this one. :-) Carolyn

This is beautiful. There's nothing like a brilliant sunrise to usher in the new day. It's that newness God allows us to get right what went wrong yesterday. I love what you've done with this tanka. The picture is the perfect frame for so fitting a piece!

Just in time. I'm working on mine and eager to see examples. A lot of good verb choices here: awaken, harmonize, perpetuate. Great image with gossamer path. Good luck in the contest.

This is excellent Carolyn, a wonderfully done Tanka with a stunning photo accompaniment...best wishes with it in the contest!

I found this line to be especially poignant:

"Harmonize gossamer path"

Now THAT'S good stuff!

Very lovely poem Carolyn. Sunset is my favourite time of the day, next to sunrise so you have created lovely imagery and pensive thoughts. Best wishes to you in the contest.
