Premium Member Alarming

The alarm clock isn’t going off;
    it’s dead there on the stoop.
I fear the feral cats
    were in the chicken coop.

Premium Member Cool Sheets

cool sheets slip over our suits
warm embrace, slippery lips
dreamy eyes open and close
— alarm clock sounds off

Outside my window, hark! a tweet
   Alarm clock opens, a whirring twitter

These words' meanings, we depleted
   Their message, away we frittered

Premium Member Alarm clocks are my enemy

Like to stay up late
Brutal mornings always roll around too soon
So desperately need more Zzzz's

White House Lie

Donald Trump's alarm clock went dead
So Ivanka woke him instead 
He sighed, "I don't tell lies!
I was resting my eyes
When I tripped and fell on this bed!"

Death 

is eternity's alarm clock, set to awake the soul

from her temporal lethargic sleep of earthly life

Waking Up

A alarm clock cannot defend itself
  from a hand that will not stop
     until it kills the alarm, then 
       sliently sneaks into the middle
         and turns you off

Lost Love

Love is like an alarm clock
Just when you think all is set
she cheats and then wants to buzz 
Off goes the first ring

Premium Member 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

Alarm Clock

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'

Just a dream life is, 

Death’s alarm clock, us awakes 
   
Eternity dawns!

Four o'clock


At four o'clock,
Your world wakes:
My dainty array
Of a rainbow vale.
With fascination,
Every four o'clock I
Watch your opening eyes
Obey - without a fight - 
The alarm clock in your mind.

Premium Member 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 Alarm Clock

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

Premium Member Tuesday

The alarm clock rings and I wake to the sound of music.
The temperature is four below.
I look outside only to see
The ground covered in thick white snow.
And so another day begins like any other day.
It's only Tuesday.

Some People

Some people
like chocolate
like wine
like spring sale
like tivoli
like confetti
and then other people
like bedbugs
like hiccup
like the song on your mind
like an alarm clock
and the warm red shawls
in winter time

To sit beside her and talk
Even holding hands as we walk

     Are my dreams and my wishes
Beep beep! damn the darned alarm clock

Dark circles 'neith bloodshot eyes, 
problems increasing in size.
Oh, how I can empathize.
Constantly, she racks her brain.
Her grip, she fights to retain.
She drops off, won't go insane...

Just then, her alarm clock cries.

Premium Member Weekend Acrostic Poem

Whoop with delight as all the time is yours
Enjoy life to the full
Eat out -  you don’t have to cook
Keep up with friends and have a natter
Explore new places
Need time to totally chill
Dread the alarm clock going and the working week is back

Premium Member When the Alarm Clock Rings

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.

Inspired by another member's poem.

Premium Member Loving the Color of Truth

colors exploded into my room
dazzling and sparkling
bringing me joy and delight
waking up the alarm clock who screamed

I laughed at this
Loving the truth
Enjoying the best wake up call of my life
the alarm clock stuck out her tongue
no sense of humor
