It is so quiet
you can hear the earth sigh
as nature raises her hem
signalling rustles and chirps
peach pastels dance
with the breeze
and clasp her locks
flowing over stretching arms
as morning peers
through it's veil
and muffles the yawn
of awakened day

Some mornings are so special they call to Ariel so clearly, and intone blessings on our day.

Lovely personification of nature (morning) here. I really liked the images and sounds in this poem, especially the line "raises her hem". I also appreciate the use of verbs here and the fact that you didn't stuff this poem with adjectives - well done!
Mornings are indeed special and your poem shows that beautifully. Thank you for a lovely entry.

A strikingly accurate description of the dawn that feeds both the physical and emotional reactions to breath-taking beauty evidenced in both the words and picture. This poem touches the spirit and massages the soul. It is lovely.
**minor point - I think you may intend for the word in the first line to be quiet vs quite.
