Relaxed Poet

day breaks
	house wakes

	bright dawn
	last yawn

	hot brew
	on cue

	dew dries 
	time flies

	shade trees
	light breeze
	
	relaxed
	muse taxed

	pen’s still
	thoughts nil

	nap calls
	pad falls

	snoozer
	loser

	muse fled
	deadhead

Nice coinage of rhyming with just two words for each line and it contains meaning also. You truly deserve the second praise!
