“Dawn” by author

I’m going to try the timed challenge. It’s quiet here right now — still dark outside, and everyone else is sleeping. It’s fall break this week.

I’ll write in Word and let it number for me. I am not a speedy writer, so I probably won’t get far. Okay, timer set. Here goes.

1. It’s still dark outside.

2. If I were walking, I’d see stars.

3. The moon is probably shining.

4. I can’t tell if it’s too cloudy or not because it’s still dark.

5. The streetlights help me see on early morning walks.

6. The sky gets light in the east.

7. The sky begins to turn rosy.

8. Gold shines too.

9. The birds wake up.

10. I love to hear them sing.

11. The mockingbird is almost always around.

12. He has a medley of songs.

13. I love to see the cardinal.

14. Their songs are distinct too.

15. The Carolina wren is sometimes out.

16. The doves coo.
