Personal Response: This poem Dawn of darkness is a form of an appreciation

of love. The text showed us how we can cope up with the pandemic and how
we are able to lift from each other despite being stuck and isolated. We still
manage to communicate, share our ideas and continue the life the we have
been deprived of. Kisses and hugs may not be advisable for the mean time but
we showed other options on how we show love to other people.
