Dew-Wop
Acrostic poem for the Light Breaks Water challenge
Daystar christens mist praying in a September meadow
Eminence dries all tears, soaking a first morning lawn
Warmth meets mizzle in a pre-autumn collaboration
White noise therapy soothes, sings; hymns become symmetry
Opalescence arrangement, background vocals let Sun take the lead
Prisms, lowland rainbows, dewbows from dewdrops; song of light, dewwop
***
Author's note: The fundamentals of Doo-Wop inspired my poem.

Such imagery and rich word choice, Marilyn! Some wordsmithing prowess on full display in this!
I especially loved the last two lines! This was so beautiful and veryyyyy creative!
I've never heard of Doo-Wop style of music before (sorry!) 😂 But this poem is gorgeously written; there'a harmony to it all. You always inspire me to write a poem of my own, Marilyn (and I'm not much of a poet, lol).
Visions of rainbows refracted by the local irrigation systems.
Beautiful Marilyn. You have such talent.
The first line made me think of running through a sprinkler as a kid, amazing writing!
Such a graceful blend of nature and melody. “Dewbows from dewdrops” is pure poetry. You turned morning light into music—beautiful work!
Beautiful words and photo and could this be a Do-Wop song. Good job.
