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 _______________________________________ Written 3-5-2016 'It Was One of Those Mornings' Contest sponsored by Sara Kendrick Third Place

lol Very true. I don't drink coffee now but when I did it didn't phase me much. Now it probably would shock my system. Thanks for reading and kind words, Brian :)

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
