Morning Drive
An Entry for the Moment of Silence Acrostic Challenge
See through the mist the romantic silhouettes of dwellings
Indistinct, becoming irradiated into golden blueness by
Light lifting itself from its dark bed, yawning,
Erasing the purple with the warm stretching of its arms.
Nuances of clustered shapes emerge, the dawn gaining in clarity as
Creatures slink through the dew unseen and
Earthly routines begin to hum.

The Light Turns
It's Tuesday 7:13 a.m. A cold and clear November morning awaits Ray on his morning commute. Ray rubs his hands together in the front seat of his Subaru. He turns the air temperature up, but keeps the air on low until the air warms up. He looks at the backup camera screen and reverses the Subaru out of his driveway onto Trimble Road.

This was soothing Rachel! Love this idea of it!
This felt so peaceful and calm. Great writing.
Just a shiver of a moment, beautifully cast.
Beautifully written acrostic, Rachel! In love!!
What an amazing and calming acrostic poem. It's languidly beautiful.

I love the image of light rising from its bed yawning and stretching its arms! Beautiful poem!
