DAWN--Happy New Year!

The image is of a "filamental emblem"--a crocheted design executed using three strands of sewing thread to create an emblematic pattern. The image and/or its name, "DAWN," are your prompts


Please give me poems between 10 and 30 lines.
Form is preferred but free verse is acceptable.
I appreciate poetry, not prose chopped into odd lines.
I do respond badly to unintentional deviations in spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc., so please check your poem closely.


I will add/increase trophy numbers and amounts depending on the quality of entries.

      For you let me see what you have. I mostly want to discourage a flood (or even a trickle) of short-shorts.
