Before The Dawn Comments

Well said

2) … and as it Lorca, I have on complaints. You may have a Lorca poem every day as POD for the next 365 days and I will just enjoy them. But I wonder what has become of the PoemHunter site, it's admin and it's Creative Team, if they have one!

This profound poem of great Federico Garcia Lorca was the Modern Poem of The Day on 29 August 2020. Today it is the Poem of the Day again. As it is this magnificent metaphorical treasure of a poem, and as it Lorca, I have on complaints. Contd..

FOUR: there was no dawn that morning, so no hope in New York where he sat at that moment and felt very lonely. Please pay attention that Lorca was a homosexual person/poet

To understand this lovely sad poem completely, the reader must know what Garcia Lorca mean with DAWN, that was the time he went to the USA

TWO: in New York because it brought no hope to him. According to the writer, there was no dawn and so no morning and no hope for the day

ONE: Before The Dawn is a poem that talks about an author's feelings or point of view about the dawn in New York. Garcia Lorca expresses how he felt miserable and empty during dawn

This is wonderfully illustrated brings peace to mind 10+++

But like love the archers are blind Upon the green night, the piercing saetas leave traces of warm lily.......it's beautiful loving poem; refer to significance of love poem here crafted many images like arches, green night, piercing seats, kneel of the moon, purple clouds, quivers with dew.... it's imaginative loving poem; pleasure to read this poem

Loved this beautiful poem, the third stanza particulaly! Posthumous congratulations to the poet, on his poem's selection as the 'Modern Poem of the Day'!

A great metaphor of loves confusing direction, it never aims where you want it to go, but ends up where it must. A poem of wise sentiments.

The keel of the moon breaks through purple clouds and their quivers fill with dew. very fine poem. t ony

Beautifully penned poem with imagery that touches the soul. Thanks for sharing. : -)

Lovely short and to the point. Yeah love is blind.

" Ay, but like love the archers are blind" Great theme with equally great conclusion.Worth deserving modern poem of the day. Congrats.

There is an old saying that 'Love is Blind', but that is not a desirable thing for an archer, who must accurately make his mark! A lovely poem from the pen of Federico Garcia Lorca.

A pleasure to read this marvelous poem again.

Love, like the will to power, sharpens itself to a point. Both are gambles...they run the risk of rending themselves from essences that breathe everywhere in the Creation.

The keel of the moon breaks through purple clouds and their quivers fill with dew.....outstanding conceptualization. Touchingly penned. Beautiful poem.

A good poem that uses elements of nature to make its point. It is a shame that he died so young. If he had lived longer, who knows what he would have gone on to write. One can only imagine.
