Susan Gentry Poet Rhyme

It Was One of Those Mornings

A Morning to Forget

Came wide awake, feeling rested, so refreshed 
took shower, drank coffee, even got dressed 
noticed it was still dark, only two hours slept 
with six hours left, back to bed I crept


An Unforgettable Morning

Sipping strong hot coffee, cool breeze on our skin 
Sun broaches the horizon, a new day to begin 
Kentucky bluegrass glistens, silver morning dew 
front porch moments cherished, alone with you

Suzanne Delaney March 7, 2016 at 11:44 AM Very clever titles. The first one sounds like me. I hate to lie in bed and often get up before the birds. Nice to have alone time but I like the humor and the way it contrasts withe the second one. Good Luck in the contest. SuZ Susan Gentry March 22, 2016 at 4:43 AM Thank you SuZ! Yes, I am a morning person. Have actually done this and feel so silly when it hits me I'm way early. :)
