So I just wrote this yesterday, I'm not all that great at poetry but I hope it's enjoyable. Any pointers/advice would be awesome! Thanks
Before the dawn turns into dust
And drifts away upon the breeze
Drink the morning's sweet sunlight
Taste the promise of this new day
Dance among the glades and pools
Bask in the glow of shining trees
Frolic with the waking flower
Who smile and sing and smell so sweet
Winter's cold has gone away
Rain drops wash and leave renewed
this world, for you, is young and new
Don't fear the thought of letting go
Just close your eyes...
Just seize this day.

Hi there. Lavvi in to review.
Your poem is lovely. The rhythm is great, falls wonderfully on each word. Your poem doesn't really rhyme, and yet it does. I think it is due to your terrific meter.
However, I really think you should punctuate poetry. Yes, poetry is definitely not prose, but it still needs punctuation in most cases. Lunasol21 did a good job of punctuating your poem for you, but here's what I suggest:
Before the dawn turns into dust,
And drifts away upon the breeze,
Drink the morning's sweet sunlight,
Taste the promise of this new day.
Dance among the glades and pools,
Bask in the glow of shining trees,
Frolic with the waking flower,
Who smile and sing and smell so sweet.
Winter's cold has gone away,
Rain drops wash and leave renewed.
This world, for you, is young and new--
Don't fear the thought of letting go.
Just close your eyes...
Just seize this day.
Before the dawn turns into dust
And drifts away upon the breeze,
Drink the morning's sweet sunlight -
Taste the promise of this new day.
Dance among the glades and pools,
Bask in the glow of shining trees.
Frolic with the waking flowers
Who smile and sing and smell so sweet.
Winter's cold has gone away,
Rain drops wash and leave renewed
this world, for you, is young and new -
Don't fear the thought of letting go.
Just close your eyes
And seize this day.
I love it. It makes life seem so happy, so frivolous. I have no criticism except why haven't you written more!?
I also love the imagrey, for such a short amount of time you did very well!
I love this

Who smile and sing and smell so sweet"
