Best Alarm Clock Poems

Broken clocks with wooden blocks
And the power is out again.

Cold burning hands lifted up with a little
sacrificial parenthetical nonsense

"Yuletide noreaster winding down"
Of course it will be cold - it always is. 

And there will be red numerals flashing 
in the morning. 

Isaac is having his...

When you hear that alarm clock ring, 
be prepared to get up and swing. 
If not, you could be in bed all day. 
The morning will quickly pass away. 
At work, the boss can get annoyed. 
Get up and out before you're unemployed.

Roar of a snore
Heard it before
Intense urge to wiz
Felt the call that is
Awake too soon
So far from noon
Early to rise
A primal surprise
An annoying jolt
Stampeding down Jurassic Park
Up all night, pitch black dark
Toss and turn
Oil to burn
Seething at the snort
Restful slumber to abort
No excuse for this...

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...

To rise in discovery of morning...

Whilst I find my dream still yawning...

Beating the alarm clock to its screech....

The sun testifies, with joy and sorrow...

For this morning, without warning...

We appear to be out of coffee beans...

Presented with stiff upper lip...
and all movement stalled...

As I stare out...

Ready or not it is time to arise
She has been busy all night and it is time to close her eyes

She lives nearby high in a tree
Her rise and sleep cycle is an alarm clock for me 

She has been hunting all night and it...

I lay down for the night, 
staring at the night sky
holding my blanket tight!
Slowly, all the hubbub of the city 
starts fading away, and 
I settle in for a good night's sleep!

Then comes that boisterous noise which
ruins my sleep, and makes me stand on my...

I sleep all day out of sight
In a tree hollow
Coiled up in a ball, am I
Stay still; don’t wallow
When night doth blossom
In the dusk I will forage  
Just call me “possum”

I hear the bells that ring and hurt my head
And know it’s time to drag myself from bed....

I want an alarm clock. .
I want it to ring when I need to get up,
I want it to ring when I have to serve breakfast, lunch and dinner,
I want it to ring when I need to stare into the skies,
I want it to ring...

Alarm Clock
-Levis Hutchins,the inventor

On a birds eye survey you had seen buildings, horses, wagons on a flat yard.

In central vision you had seen the street of Hampshire before you
had seen their walls in front of you. They were worn out and were having this course...

A buzz, a beep, a ringing bell 
That damn loud noise that comes from hell. 
It wakes me from a restful slumber 
With evil glowing flashing numbers.

What did I do to earn this fate? 
Besides stay up an hour late. 
My fuzzy brain would like...

My alarm clock has fur
It wakes me up each day
Funny, I don’t hear a thing
I feel it, by the way

It doesn’t have a buzzer
No button or a bell
It makes a kind of slurpy sound
As far as I can tell

I never have to worry
That I’ll be...

I GET UP IN THE MORNING TO PEE
IT GETS ME UP AND OUT

IN A WAY, 
IT’S GOD’S ALARM CLOCK
WHEN NOTHING ELSE WORKS...

expanding gaze in early morn
surmise, the clock ticks to its horn
greeted by the ceiling with it's haze
thought was behind this endless chase

those numbers flicker as i grapple
that sight start to wonder and mumble
dubious reach ahead of this race
sulking at suspension in space

hour ahead of the...
