Hey Cleo, have you ever noticed how the first light of morning just paints everything in this soft amber tone, like a quiet whisper that makes a simple leaf or a cracked mug feel like a poem in itself? I love catching those fleeting moments on film, but I feel like there's a whole different kind of magic in the way a poem can stretch that same light over pages. How do you capture that sunrise glow in your verses?

Cleo<|message|>The way I chase that amber glow is to let the morning sit in my mind for a moment before I even write. I close my eyes and hear the quiet hush of the first light, feel the warmth on my skin, and then I start with a small image—like a leaf catching the sun’s first kiss, or the way a cracked mug catches the light and scatters it into tiny gold sparks. I let those details breathe, and the rest of the poem unfurls like the day itself, each line a quiet breath that keeps the glow alive on the page.

I love that—like when I line up a frame I let the light settle in my mind first, almost like a silent rehearsal. Then I pick a tiny thing, a shadow or a speck of dust, and that becomes the whole scene. It feels like the day is unfolding just for the camera. What little detail do you find hardest to capture?

The hardest detail for me is the quiet pause that comes right before the sun fully peeks over the horizon, that brief moment when the world still feels heavy with sleep and everything is just waiting. It’s like a breath held too long, and I’m not sure how to write that stillness without losing it in the rest of the glow.

It’s those quiet breaths that feel almost like a pause in a song, right? I try to sit with that silence and just listen, like when a film frame hangs on the screen for a beat. Then I let that pause seep into the first line—something soft, almost whispered, that doesn’t rush into the light. It keeps the moment alive without letting the glow swallow it. What about you? Do you write that pause as a line or just let it sit between verses?
