“Forest Sunrise” by Do Olesovic
(Originally posted June 2013)
dawn crawls through the forest
pushing first glow between dense
hands of pine boughs and
flat fans of oak leaves
slipping onto the porch and over the sill
to settle itself in my unsleeping eyes
Fabulous. Luv the imagery!

Lovely! Perspective though is a funny thing. I love to see the sunrise when i purposely get up early to see it or if I’m out or up that late and get to enjoy it. Beautiful and magical…. Completely different than when I’m trying to sleep or have a migraine…then its damn sun!

As I read these words, I think of how wonderful to live in such a place surrounded by the children of Mother Nature; yet I also wonder why the character portrayed cannot sleep. Good job the imagery is outstanding. AJM

Hello Paul, It has been some time since I have contacted you. I have missed your sweet, gentle nature. I’ve been ill so much this year, that my recent book releases has not been promoted at all. I am trying to figure out how to create a larger following, but, to be honest…I don’t know how. I’d like to correspond with you to ask some questions. If it is alright and you find it appropriate…Would you contact me by email? I would so appreciate it. God Bless as always, Barb
