The Abcs of Morning

The ABC’s of Morning Awake on the dot of seven Birds are chirping away Coffee… as always, first order of the day, Doggy kisses from Kea Enjoying the peace and quiet Fumble for my glasses to see Garden shadows in early light Harmony of leaves in the garden Intricate patterns at play Just as sunlight begins, a Kinship of finch burst away. Lavender dreams are fading Mindful of duties to do Overcoming an urge to be lazy, I Pirouette to the bathroom to dress Quietly, I exit the bedroom, a Resting hubby not to disturb Sit in the lounge with my ipad Thankful for all of life’s gifts Up to date with events, I Venture to start my routine Walking, now for health reasons, try to Xerox this action each day Yesterday, though, I missed it Zealot, I’m not, you might say! 7/22/15

This was simply delightful, Suzanne. Your poem flew as leisurely as your morning seemed to go ... calm and easy. I've written one or two of these before ... I find the "X lines" difficult to do, and once I actually said "Xcelling" ... how silly!

G'day Suzanne... a nice poem to start the day off as it is morning here that is crispy at the minute but sun is out and a promise of a sunny winters day. Thank you Suzanne - catch you soon - Lindsay
