Dawn's Amethyst Sky

This poem was an interesting read for me. I don't know if my interpretation is correct, but bear with me. I thought it was about someone who, despite trying his/her best to enjoy the present, ends up anticipating the aftermath instead. I got that impression in the first stanza... even as the narrator watches the sunrise it is the end of the day he/she is thinking about. The theme then repeats in the poem; he/she sits, amazed by nature, but internally would rather sit and write poems in preparation for dark times ahead, which he/ she again anticipates will be broken by a new day. I think that overarching theme informs the style of the poem, which is why some of the transitions end up seeming somehow abrupt and surprising, like what billy said about it shifting from about nature to about writing.

As for the nitty-gritty details; you seem to have a good writing voice. I think there may be a bit too many adjectives here and there ("dusky, many, small shadowy, soothingly pleasant" almost every line has one or even several). Having many adjectives isn't necessarily bad; your personal taste may lean towards them, just like many other poets. Just make sure that a) they really are necessary to precisely express the correct feeling and image you want, and it's not just to make the line flowery, and b) They are unique enough to make the line interesting and engaging.

Thanks for the read athequa
