alexa alarm
makes waking up easier
feels like a friend
she tells me a joke
and temperatures for a week
the best friend ever
Smoke alarm
goes off in
the bedroom;
We’re reckless
with our hearts,
with our thoughts;
Forever
burnt kisses
steal my soul.
loudest house alarm
triggered by hundreds of things
hoarsest cough warning
gruff rough barking dogs
announce intruders
and deliveries
Not the tell tale heart under the floorus
nor Edgar Allan Poe's thesaurus
can convey the nightmare that disturbs my sleep
when my smoke alarm goes "beep".
Like to stay up late
Brutal mornings always roll around too soon
So desperately need more Zzzz's

Sometimes the messages are subtle.
Sometimes the cues are underground and silent.
Waiting may be too late.

The sun looked tired this morning
Yawning stretched shadows over silent birds
Teasing nighttimes sleeping flowers
As its lazy snooze alarm hummed idly

I dreamed that I lived in the sea,
So happy, contented and free.
No need to do dishes,
I fed with the fishes
'Til a sea creature tried to eat me.

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

eagle?
no matter
rooster sounds the alarm
chickens scatter
clucking up a storm
uh-oh
I note the red head
turkey buzzard
something is dead
if dreams linger once i awake ~ how’s this nightmare so easy to shake
thought the rat stirring neath a rope ~ upon dawning it’s a rattlesnake
By
David Kavanagh
Within the tragedy of a broken dream
rages a fiery lost inferno
Where we burn in fearful anticipation
—waiting for the alarm to sound
(Las Vegas Nevada: January, 2016)
.
The snap of a twig
Doe and fawn quickly vanish
My careless footstep
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
As the morning choruses' alarm clock I tick the box
for waking up this Spring glory at four of the clock by
loudly laughing while reading comic glory 'Catch - 22'
Man to doctor: I poop every morning at 8:00 A.M.
Problem is, I don't wake up until 9:00 A.M.
A messy problem I'd say
Use lots of flowery spray
And be sure to set your poop alarm for 7:00 A.M.
Man to doctor: I poop every morning at 8:00 A.M.
Problem is, I don't wake up until 9:00 A.M.
A messy problem I'd say
Just use lots of flowery spray
And be sure to set your poop alarm for 7:00 A.M.
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 7am Alarm
I dream of sunrise
with easy breath
and natural sigh.
I even dream
of laughing
without fear of shadows.
But knowlege
of the world
is soul inhibiting.
I know it may go on
busting my joy
or it may grow.
It begins before dawn
a groan beneath the sheets,
a crack of bone and will,
the clock tells you….
“Hey, Get up. Be a man.”
The floor is cold,
so is the coffee, chill!
but there’s work
always work to do
Man to doctor: I poop every morning at 8:00 A.M.
Problem is, I don't wake up until 9:00 A.M.
Doctor: a messy problem I'd say
Just use lots of flowery spray
And be sure to set your poop alarm for 7:00 A.M.
cars sound the alarm
autumn delivers it's storm
night time is shattered
window faces watch
our world of broken branches
wheelie-bins gone rogue
when tomorrow comes
boys will collect their conkers
grown men their shovels
she set
a fire
and i
set off
the
alarm
to warn
myself
that she
is true
in fact
too good
to be
true
so
having
to cover
my ears
to keep
out
the sound
of the bells
the bells
for they
because
of me
toll
for
me

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.
