It Was One of Those Mornings

Woke up from a poor night‘s sleep an utter wreck. I had to be to work by eight, but what the heck? The clock said 12; the real time was eleven. That alarm clock wasn’t even plugged in! On vacation and no worries in my head. I woke up in an unfamiliar bed. In my hometown, at my mom’s, sleep was the best With eight uninterrupted hours of sweet rest! March 7, 2016

Hi Andrea, Congratulations on the win in the contest. I can definitely relate to the first morning. For some strange reason i can't fall asleep in a strange bed, i am just awake all night. This one had to do well. It is right on the money as far as the directive went. It is a seven from me....Vlad.

Panic stanza vs. relaxed stanza equal work vs. freedom. My parents forget to change the clocks one year for Daylights Savings and we did the clock freakout as a family unit - I still remember it. I enjoyed your write, Sweetie - so many 'challenging' mornings to choose from that I haven't decided what to write yet ... CayCay

This has to be for some contest...I have already seen a couple of poems with contrasting stanzas similar to yours. I never rely on alarm clocks! Enjoyed this, Andrea. // paul

Great contrast. I always get momentarily freaked out when I wake up in an unfamiliar bed ... then when my brain gets re-organized to where I am ... it's off to la-la land. I had no idea what to write for this contest ... I'm not a morning person! But I think this will do well.
