Best Morning Person Poems
Coffee goes on before one word is said
Hopefully way after dawn.
I am not a morning person so don't go where
Kings won't tread
Or you'll learn what it means when the Queen of
Hearts says off with your head.
This is my quiet time. Be gone!
Coffee goes on before one word is said.
Spread
The news Jemi John
I am not a morning person so don't go where
Kings won't tread.
There really is nothing to dread
Just hang on.
Coffee goes on before one word is said.
My mind is dead.
It needs coffee so I can understand all this
Jargon.
I am not a morning person so don't go where
Kings won't tread
Instead
Let me wake up with out being put upon.
Coffee goes on before one word is said.
I am not a morning person so don't go where
Kings won't tread.
GOODBYE MORNING PERSON
Sit up
Stretch
Yawn
Head quite empty
Woozy
No remembered dreams
Before anything else COFFEE!
It’s the cats and me
Squeaky teeth
Sponge bath or shower
Shave
Nothing profound
Just life
Just plain naked
On the avenue (back of my mind) wheels haven’t started
their daily spin
The weather channel (with its mindless music)
A neighborhood feel – what goes on next door in the
WORLD!
Yes! now it begins
It’s a neighborhood thing
Cannot be helped – it starts
An up-and-down-the-block thing
Mentally I’m out the door
There are streets avenues stores a mall
Something is alive out there
The conviction strangely eases
With the first taste I start to function
And function is what it’s all about
ask any newscaster
Realizing this “function” it eases
There is some ridiculous wholeness some sanity
The night? the dream? unreal!
By noon all is GO!
Another drag-ass day
I am this other person this programmed stiff
The morning person is distant
I do not even want to recall that jelly
Some formula has taken hold
has been in the veins all along
Yes! the VEINS!
There are numbers flowing
Problems with no answers
Problems kicked aside
The “ME” has taken over
Unashamed
Fully astrut
Going down the same uniform avenues
Feeling the same guilt same lust
Same unstoppable drive
Goodbye morning person
So I tried to be a morning person
And made a plan to meet for certain
But overnight my phone stopped working
With all my alarms inside not turning
And there’s no way my body can count
So I could not get up, you laugh but no doubt
When I finally awoke at one hour late
My friend was no longer at the meeting place
I’m still trying to get the morning thing right
Really I should be in bed early at night
I’d say call me first, let this be a warning
If you’re meeting me any time in the morning

I want to be a morning person
And start every day when the sun starts burning
But my body won’t roll out of bed
How do I get it through to my head?
To get my body
To not be so naughty
When I go to sleep
I try to count sheep
So I get enough rest
To wake up earliest
But alas hasn’t helped
Not even the dogs yelp
So I struggle with this
But the thought’s not dismissed
I will make this happen
Maybe squeezing a nap in
Then I will see the sun rise
Now what’s the loudest alarm chime?
March 24, 2021
Yes I’m really trying hard to be a morning person
No matter the alarms I set it still isn’t working
I haven’t given up because I’m quite determined
So I currently set myself up with a 2 AM curfew
Let’s see how it goes
I’m sure it will soon show
If I can wake up at this rate
Or will I still be late
I want to be up to see the sun rise
‘Cause that day I managed it was pretty fine
Not to worry because with everything else
All of us included are works in progress
