The alarm rings
I reach out to see the time
Mumbling about time still left
I roll over and
Pull the blanket over my head…
The alarm rings again
I blearily gaze at the time
Oh yes, I overslept
And had to scramble
thro’ the brushing and shower…
Eggs and toast invade my hand
As I scratch my pen on the surface
The whistle blows my thoughts away
Just as the steam rising up…
Hassling around to get ready,
My unfinished poem on the table
I promise to complete today
As I board the bus…
I reach the hall with minutes to spare
And sit down with a calm
That bellied the turmoil of moments ago…
I’m back home to wreck my PC
And complete my design
I fall asleep in my chair
The poem still lying undone…

You captured a day in the life of . . . many …. and lastly that is how I felt last night when I did not post my poem to go with the fireworks pictures,
Oh yes — it is a great poem that flows so well and conjures up clear and concise imagery.
Have a wonderful relaxing day.
Joanny

Ah.. how daily routine gets into our lives, and makes us miss the stuff we enjoy! But whom are we kidding?! We just need to make time for that… Sometimes, the more time we make, the more time we can get!
Hope you finally got to completing the incomplete poem… Am looking forward to reading it 🙂
Have a great week!
