long winter shadows
end day before I'm ready
so early to bed...

a little too late

He loves to keep them all well fed 
his mantra is always quip and trim 
early to rise and early to bed 
but Ali, well he loves to sleep in...

Having a bad day ?

Then quit while you are ahead 

And retire early to bed

For tomorrow can only be a better day

If today couldn't possibly get any worse 

Hopefully Sleep and Dreams 

Can break any Curse...

My alarm clock
was out of 
order.

I went to 
market
and bought a 
cock
to help me 
wake up
sharp at dawn

my cock crows:

Hurry up 
please its time
Hurry up 
please its time

my cock crows:

Early to bed
  and early to 
rise
makes man
  healthy 
wealthy and 
wise!...

Rising


Early to bed
and early to rise
morning glory


the cookie
still flat on the sheet
lazy kids


he tenses
on ready to sprint
the wild cat


at half mast
the flag begs raising
un-baked cake

the small child
learning his manners
thinking twice

Early vs. Late
Dr. James E. Martin
©January, 2014

An early start was his intent,
To accomplish this goal he must not relent.
A problem, however, arose in the mix,
Too many late hours he had earlier spent.

He speedily discovered to his dismay
That he could not stay up late and play.
Early to bed and early to rise
Would result in accomplishment of his intended way!...

Drudgery


Monday I’m groggy
Want to stay in my bed

Tuesday’s a bit better 
But wish I were dead

Wednesday is hump day
I don’t care one single bit

Thursday’s pre-Friday 
And I’m ready to quit

Friday drags on
I need a few beers

Saturday’s cheerful
No need to shed tears

Sunday’s much needed 
Off early to bed 

‘Twas a long week
There’s another ahead...


~J.D. Cromwell...

Waking up early is her favorite part 
Dozing on time is her passionate art.
Early to bed and Early to rise
She does think so very wise.
Days never the same as he came into the game
Mornings were late and nights into dates
Texts and Talks were never sore mates.
Late to bed and Late to rise
What she thinks is not once nor twice.
Loving the change... and living insane
Love is on to her..... forever.. to claim....

The Ocean has no conscience,
no judgment, joy, or hate

She dances with you to her beat
in stirring waves of fate

With reverence you may enter
all blessings on the day

But just one slip and she reminds
what ancient mariners say…

“Red sky at morning, sailors take warning
red sky at night, sailors delight”

Her message best taken when early to bed
life in the balance, her power to dread

(Rosemont Pennsylvania: June, 2022)...

Like real people do
They go early to bed
Every single night
So they can get a good
Night sleep
Like real people do
Every night before they sleep
They say a little prayer
To their Father
Like real people do
They work on a pollinator garden
Planting new plants that
Will grow in the pollinator garden
Also the bees will collect the nectar of the
Plants to make honey
Like real people do
They like to eat French toast
With honey for breakfast...

Frisson Moments
(free-sawn)
By: Miracle Man
7/12/2020

Early life was filled with frisson times,
lately, it resembles a basket of peach centers.
Analyzing the two, it’s been two distinct lifetimes,
anxiety has made me one of life’s dissenters.

I’ve heard that “early to bed and early to rise”,
and I’ve often wondered, if true, this be.
Will it “make a man healthy, wealthy, and wise”? 
thus far I’m batting 000 for three.
