Dawn and On

Morning sun invades the skies
And permeates my sleepy eyes

A timer makes the coffee brew
While I begin to stir and stew

Water from the shower head
Invigorates the sleeping dead

Towel dried skin and blow dried hair
In my clothes and down the stairs

Grab a cup and then move on
Get the paper from the lawn

In the car and on my way
Starting off another day

I really enjoyed the Couplet form and the simple, easy to digest, poetic flow and imagery.
