Alarm Clock
An alarm clock.
On the edge of the nightstand.
No one came after me the whole night.
Except the skin of my thoughts.
Shaking but nothing.
It’s like I woke up and ate gravity and passed out again.
It’s all about time.
Wrappers crinkling underfoot.
More and more trash scattered.
Warping.
The sound of the garbage

Feathered Alarm Clock
Every morning
Hours before the sun rises
You find that time to laugh
That annoying laugh of yours
Just like a feathered alarm clock
Set you to make our lives hell
It echoes around the entire land
Waking men, women, and children
No one is safe from you
The thing is you rarely travel alone
Two, three, or even more
All hiding up in the trees
Can

The Great Alarm Clock Scam
A singular failure is the alarm
When used to late morning sleepers disarm
For as soon as it rings
They turn off the damn thing
And don't wake up 'til work's done on the farm

My Alarm Clock
I have two alarm clocks
One electric
Which I do not use
Only to tell time
Then-there is Sparkles
Yes Sparkles
She wakes me gently
With nudges and kisses
Early in the morn
Until I awake
She wants her breakfast
n the early morn
When tummy is full
then she is content
Going back to sleep

The Alarm Clock
We need an alarm clock for daybreaks
For morning calls
For embarking on special expeditions
But down in a poor village
The cock crows
The cold wind blows
The night fades
The mountains covered with mist
The grass wetted
The birds sing
But there is neither bustle of life
Nor ringing of an alarm clock
Inside the cottage
Oh, the parents have long awakened
Before dawn
Their morning begins
...

The Alarm Clock
Alarm clock, how I loathe thee!
How dare you wake me?
Dancing in Carnival in Brazil!
The lead Sambista,too, after all,
Covered with sequins and frills,
And I was to receive an award.
I want to throw you forward!
You are a monster in my life.
Waking me always to days of strife!
So off you go to a second hand
store......
Stop fussing in

Eternity's Alarm Clock
Death
is eternity's alarm clock, set to awake the soul
from her temporal lethargic sleep of earthly life

Alarm Clock
The alarm clock plays different sounds,
To shake you up from slumber,
To get you up for daily rounds,
For the home to office scamper!
It begins slow like a church bell,
A gentle smooth first attempt!
Then a quicker rapid, faster knell,
You choose to silence with contempt.
By half past six, if still in bed,
The alarm shrieks even louder!!
Like some lady

God's Alarm Clock
Soft sun seeps through the musky scent
of strong pine trees, painting
the forest in a subtle hue of
golden greens, embroidered in
fresh morning dew.
Cool air tickles and meanders
through, rousing canopies from
their slumber.
Melodious chirps chime a eurhythmic
rhyme, piercing the silence of
the damp dark Earth.

Alarm Clock
Appreciated morning time friend.
Despised morning time enemy.
Always knowing when to chime in.
Never knowing when to shut up.
Piercing the calm.
Then teasing peace, but only for a short while.
Liking to hear itself speak.
Can't hear myself think.
Alarm clock....
Oh, dreaded alarm clock.

Damn Alarm Clock
My alarm went off in the middle of the night
I set it for 8:00 what an annoying device
A penalty should be enforced
Perhaps an action in the courts
Preventing it from reoccurring, that would be nice

The Buzz of An Alarm Clock
I hate the sound of my alarm clock.
I just want to lay back down in bed.
The warm blankets are calling my name.
My school uniform is hanging up on my door.
I know when I get out of bed I’ll have to get ready for school.
I hate the sound of my alarm clock.
My dream wasn’t over
