R&S friends, can you provide me with the last 2 lines for my poem?

A still life from artist Severn Rosen inspired me to write a poem based on what I observed in the painting. It appeared as if the rising sun was awakening certain fruits and flowers while those in shadow were still nestled in slumber.



I am transferring the poem and it's images into a pattern suitable for needlepoint or cross-stitch, but I cannot finish the artwork until the poem is completed.



Thus far, I have:



Sunlight streaming,

lilies yawning,

fruits and flowers

greet the day.



Bachelor's buttons,

nodding, bobbing

lift their heads

and gently sway.



Dewy roses,

from the shower,

fuzzy peaches,

eggs so white.



Trumpet flowers,

herald morning,

(I wish to replace these last two lines, originally written as;

Severn Rosen's

"Still Life.")



For some reason, I don't care to have these last two lines in my artwork. Any ideas? Your help is most appreciated, and I regret that I don't have a link to, or a photo of, the painting that inspired me.

R%26amp;S friends, can you provide me with the last 2 lines for my poem?
Trumpet flowers,

herald morning,

Lovely day

Dawn takes flight.
Reply:Ummm, I don't have the last 2 lines, but can I make an honest suggestion? The word "eggs" totally skews the perceptual sense you are going for here. It's like a ballet dancer tripping over a homeless person. It's jarring. Perhaps another element of the painting?



"Nests holding life"?

"Nests hold life"?

"Nests of life?" Dunno LOL

Sweet and bright?

Not sure it fits correctly though but it shares the same rhyme scheme and meter.

Wish you all the best
