COCKCROW AT DAWN
By Josie Whitehead
Awaken the morning you loud crowing cock.
Pierce the night’s silence ahead of the clock.
Throw your voice soaring across the pale sky,
Dispatching night’s gloom with a hearty goodbye.
You embrace early morning’s gold halcyon rays
And stretch forth your neck and proclaim this bright day.
Your clarion call heralds a magnificent dawn,
As you hail with true gladness the arrival of morn.

Vocabulary: Halcyon = golden but with a sense of peace or tranquility (But not too peaceful when the cock crows of course).
Clarion call = a very clear call - ie easily understood. (Come on people - it's time to wake up). The Collins dictionary says that halcyon also means peaceful or happy. I think that the cockerel's wake-up call is a happy one, don't you?
