L Milton Hankins Poet Dizain

Early Awakening

Shadows of the morning slip silently
Across the coverlet over my bed
Some think the wispy image heavenly
I think of covering my sleepy head
Will fondly sleep another hour instead
Since childhood I'm not a morning person
For sleep I’ve never needed rehearsin’
And I love to write into the wee hours
Arise early a headache will worsen
And my way with phrases easily sours

L Milton Hankins November 9, 2021 at 9:10 AM I'm lucky to get out of bed by 10:00 in the mornings. My muses really get busy about 11:00 at night.

There was a time that no matter how I felt, I had to get up and get moving. I'm loving my leisure days and doing what I want to do when I want to do it. Great, eh?
