Facets of Jupiter

Facets of Jupiter presents a new collection of poetry written by a girl who was born one of seven children in a small town on the outskirts of New Orleans, Louisiana. Her earliest memories were of her mother, who had a gift for ceramics and pottery and who lovingly shared her gift with her daughter. This planted a small seed within this creative old soul. From that moment on, author Dawn Elizabeth Mayhall was hooked; anything that created life drew her interested immediately, and she eventually became an oil painter.

When Dawn Elizabeth was young, she was diagnosed with dyslexia. Even though words danced on the tip of her tongue, she was reluctant to truly express herself through poetry-until the day she could no longer contain those words. The resulting poetry collection presented here offers a window into her creative and whimsical imagination.

Beautiful Sunrise

Beautiful sunrise
Envelopes my soul;
Brings me to your open arms.
I watch your sun-kissed skin,
Building sand castles.
I sit in awe of your charms,
Your laughter, your smile.
Beautiful sunrise
Envelopes my soul;
Brings you to my open arms.
