Scott Thirtyseven Poet Free verse

Morning

MORNING

Good morning World.

Damn you!
and your warm
sunray fingers
prying open my eyes.

Robbing me of my
nocturnal fantasies,
my semiconscious bliss.

Leaving the remnants
of my peace 
and tranquillity
laying scattered across
my face and through
my hair.

Your rising light
shrinking the shadows
of my freedom.

I will not be seduced
by your clear blue promises.

For your pressing realities
already taste foul
in my mouth.

Leave me Morning
to my diminishing serenity.


I have performed this piece and it shows on you tube (I hope this works, if not try copying to your address bar):

Komal Walimbe May 13, 2022 at 9:28 AM I am not a morning person too, I really like to sleep more and more. Yet we have to wake up and start our day and start something new!

Paul Callus January 22, 2022 at 4:31 AM I just had to go read your debut poem on Soup, Scott! "Good morning" to you, too! Unfortunately, the promises of a brand new day are not always kept. Yet, it's up to us to make the most of the situation. ~ Regards // paul

Susan Ashley January 19, 2018 at 8:14 PM Scott, such an awesome poem! You have aptly put into your graceful lines of poetry what I think and feel in the morning.. your first three stanzas, especially, I can completely relate to. A sparkling, beautifully expressed and enthralling write! Warmest wishes ~Susan

Cynthia Jones November 5, 2017 at 8:03 AM Scott, this is an excellent piece. The brightness of morning wakes me up too early. Can't sleep in for the life of me. Thanks for the read. *S* Cynthia

Lim'Rik Flats October 28, 2017 at 1:45 PM HeckFier, 0037, I actually got the vid to work! That was fun. Saw, "Spend the day with poetry" as well — pretty much what I am doing;-) Thanks for the entertainment ~ john

Debbie Duncan September 9, 2017 at 6:18 PM Love it, I like to stay in my dreams as well :) I could not find it on u tube tho :( Scott Thirtyseven September 11, 2017 at 7:02 AM Thank you for your visit and read. I hope that you are able to see this piece on you tube. Copy the above link into your address bar, and I am sure you will arrive at my work of art. May you not be disappointed. It is near impossible to find it any other way.

Lisa Ricci March 29, 2017 at 12:29 PM Hello Scott. This was fabulous. I did click on the video. It came through. Your words are so true. I think we all second your words and thoughts. If only we can stay within our dreams and sleep. Well done entirely.

Richard Lamoureux March 4, 2017 at 7:40 AM I can't believe I haven't read your first poem before now. This was a tremendous first offering to the soup Scott.

Jannie Breedt August 5, 2016 at 1:01 AM Sorry- that joke could well backfire

Jannie Breedt August 5, 2016 at 12:59 AM Hi Scott. A very different angle on sunrise which we all enjoyed, looking below. Next time youre in NZ tell them to come over and learn to play rugby over here. The "All Blacks " in our govt will teach you guys how ro steal the ball. (Theyve stolen everything else) i will look you up in U-tube

Punnia Viswan Bhatia February 21, 2016 at 1:39 AM lovely share scott :)) rating..

Funom Makama January 28, 2016 at 11:59 AM Flowing words emanating the tender peace of a calm slow running river. Thanks for this brilliant share.

Vladislav Raven January 11, 2016 at 8:21 PM Hi Scott, I'm the morning monster most definitely. I can't complain though, too early and i just turn over and fall asleep again. Hell everyone tells me it would take a cannon to wake me up. Can't watch the video Scott, since i went 10 you tube is up the spout. Tried going bacl to 8:1 still no dice. Anyway Scott great write for your first post....Vladislav.

Andrea Dietrich September 5, 2014 at 9:07 PM Scott, not knowing what I could comment to that I have not seen already, I finally went to see this one on the youtube, which I had not done previously (I think you misunderstood me before when I said I saw it through the link, I did not mean I saw the youtube. WOW, you really rocked this one. I just LOVE it. I hate the morning sun on me like that too. GREAT job on that video. I've gotta fave it now too!!

Harry Horsman August 27, 2014 at 11:43 AM This is brilliant Scott, you turn an everyday occurrence into poetic bliss

Andrea Dietrich March 23, 2014 at 7:04 PM when I saw this one before, I had seen it thru the link. Now I see it was your first poem posted here. So far my favorite too of all your poems (oh and the pee poem of course). So you are living down under? You lucky duck!! Scott Thirtyseven March 23, 2014 at 11:15 PM Oh and I trust you enjoyed the video, a lot of fun to make. Thanks for the feedback. Scott Thirtyseven March 23, 2014 at 10:08 PM I absolutely started my Soup life with one of my best. Yes currently I live in New Zealand (oh and this place is beautiful), but as my wife reminded me today, in two weeks I will be living back home in Australia. Change is coming...

Andrea Dietrich March 23, 2014 at 11:00 AM I love this one too, looking through your "best poems" did you know Soup has assigned us lists of our best poems? It's such a cool feature. I too despise the morning. but lately I have not been able to sleep past 7 no matter what time I go to bed the night before.

Sheri Fresonke Harper January 23, 2014 at 3:12 PM Scott, intense work, a very different wake up, enjoyed reading it.

Robin Davis January 14, 2014 at 5:09 PM Scott Such a great write for everybody who despises mornings. And there's a lot of them. LOL Nicely done. Thanks for the great comment on my Revenge poem.

Kelly Deschler December 4, 2013 at 5:43 PM I am not a morning person, either! Great expression in this piece, Scott! I really enjoyed the read! Very well done!...Thank you for the kind congrats on my poem. I appreciate it very much!

Laura Breidenthal November 15, 2013 at 7:33 AM Watched the video. Great job. You have a lovely voice for poetry and it was nice to see it all acted out. You should do some more like that! Very effective. -and a very cute piece. (: Always, Laura Scott Thirtyseven November 15, 2013 at 4:05 PM Thanks for watching the video. It was fun to make, and to watch.
