Writing Exercise 090

I wanted to start fresh this month, so I waited for today. This week I wrote a German sonnet to wish you a 'good morning'. :)
Here it is:

2017/09/01 – good morning (German sonnet)

As the mist rises from the lake

The sun glimmers behind clouds of white

To shoo away the colours of night

Stillness remains for the watcher's sake

A memory of summer's end

Seems as if frozen in time

A spell cast in a wondrous rhyme

The melancholy off to fend

The sleepy forest lies so dark

A woodpecker assaults the bark

It is the only sound

Gently the sun heralds the day

A very 'good morning' to say

There's happiness to be found
