Personal Sunrise Sylvia Moffatt Spiller

Personal Sunrise is the mustread book of poetry for 2017. It contains 42 of the most innovative poems created to please all readers. It is from the heart and soul of Sylvia Moffatt Spiller, a new and upcoming author and poet. Sylvia used a combination of couplet and lyric forms for her poetry. The book has the intrigue of several short stories written in poetic verse. The title was derived from the beauty of the sun rising over the horizon at 7:00 in the morning from the entrance ramp onto The Sam Houston Parkway West in Houston, Texas. While driving to work everyday I would encounter the blinding glare of the sun. One day in particular, I caught the sun at just the right moment. I did not see the glare, just the beauty of the sunrise. I wandered at that time if anyone else saw it as I did at that second. From that time the vision was etched in my mind and I thought of it as my own personal sunrise.
