Daniel Turner Poet Iambic Pentameter

It Was One of Those Mornings

Apprehension had me really nervous
Was I headed for my funeral service
They wheeled me to the operating table
To cut me open and my heart disable
Would this morning be my last sunrise
As tears rolled out the corners of my eyes

___________________________________
I saw my image smiling back at me
Glass window to the baby nursery
My daughter was the cutest of them all
October morning in the early fall
Only a babe I saw her years ahead
More tears of joy, have I ever shed

Jean Murray March 13, 2016 at 5:21 PM Working on WHAT?? All I know is this worked for me. In Ireland we say Rothar Mhor an tSaoil, meaning the The Big Bicycle of Life, meaning circle of life. A bit like this poem. Jean Murray March 13, 2016 at 5:29 PM the Iambic Pentameter . This is what I was takling about Daniel. Is it Double Dutch? I always say why drink tea when you can drink wine? Daniel Turner March 13, 2016 at 5:24 PM She said write a poem about your worst morning then write one about your best morning. That's what I did. You crack me up. Just what exactly do Irish lasses put in their "tea". Peace my dear, Love you:)
