I awake to a misty morning moving low across the land
And I see the day that's dawning with the touch of natures hand
the land is slowly waking and the creatures make a start
And it's cold out there this morning but the beauty warms my heart
Moving low upon the meadow over hill and through the glen
The mist curls lightly over as it visits us again
Our eyes are filled with wonder on another misty day
And it's cold out there this morning as it slowly moves away
Little birds begin to chatter while the eagle takes to flight
They have waited for this moment through a long and lonely night
Soon the sun will rise and greet them and send sunrays to them all
And it's cold out there this morning but it's warm here in my soul
There's a sigh from out the mountains where the creatures are at play
For they love a misty morning that means sunshine for the day
Out upon the lowly meadow mist rolls slowly through the glen
and we'll wait another morning 'til the mist comes by again

An excellent piece of descriptive writing as Cosmic musketeer said the picture is unnesessary, you have painted such a great picture with your words,

Thank you so very much for the big shiny, Bob. I'm awed. It was something I whipped up just for this contest and wasn't sure it was going to be good enough. I am so glad you liked it and thank you again.

Beautiful write, very rhythmic yet the longer lines allow you to be very descriptive, so much so that the picture is unnecessary. Definitely takes the reader to another, but still familiar, world.

an evocative poem one I can visualize with or without the picture.
The field behind our house often has mist such as that pictured, it also has a small stable bloc and the ponies can appear and vanish in the mist like ghosts.
good luck with the contest
