An angel, robed in spotless white,
Bent down and kissed the sleeping Night.
Night woke to blush; the sprite was gone.
Men saw the blush and called it Dawn.
Standing by my bed
in gold sandals
Dawn that very
moment awoke me
Moon fades into dawn...
an ivory moth settles
within the lily.
All three of these poems are about Dawn, and I have questions on all three of these which I need help with.
1. In these three poems about dawn, what colours are used to describe the rising sun?
-just the colors white and red?
2. What items are used to compare the appearance of dawn?
-blush, gold sandals, moon and ivory moth?
Do I have the answers correct?
1. I don't see red, but I do see "blush." They are not the same.
2. "... to compare the appearance of dawn" with what?
Frankly, I thought your questions were answered last night by Ms. Sue and Sra.
No, I answered them; they told me if I was correct or not, but I wanted to make sure I was from you, also could u check my other post.
What do u mean by number 2?
2. What items are used to compare the appearance of dawn?
To compare means you will be pointing out the ways in which two things are similar. I see only a reference to "dawn" here. With what are you supposed to compare dawn?
I'm going to put the "color" words in bold. What changes will you make in your response, if any?

So the angel? She is beautiful like the dawn. The gold sandals are soft and glowing like the dawn. The ivory colored moth represents a soft neutral touch of pleasantness. It provides a calming effect.
Be sure to add all those ideas to your response. Good.
is there anything that I have missed out?
I don't think so.
2. What items are used to compare the appearance of dawn?
The items ....
How do I start it off as a sentence, the angel isn't an item, she is a supernatural being, so how do I start if off?
