Short Early Warning Poems

First
frost
of fall,
winter calls
an early warning-
Autumn patterns red-green on white....

I finger the rim of her goblet,
And speak with a slurring lisp:
"The floor won't clean itself,
no matter how many times I scream at it;
that's why I'm thankful you're in my life:
Because I rarely have to scream at you 
more than twice."

- This is the early warning sign:
That it's nearly my bed time...

Oh night owl

My constant companion

With luminescent eye's

Piercing through full moon

To ward off vampires and
werewolves alike

And notify an early warning
alert call

Slayers to arm's

Silver , Garlic 
Stakes , Crosses

At the ready

Battle commences at the stroke
of dusk

And ends when the sun rises

For those who survive

Only to resume hostilities  
tomorrow night again...

A-n early warning advice 
N-ever lets you feel afraid; 
A-llowing you to be safe, 
B-ecause the dangers fade. 
E-arly warning advice 
L-ets you heed the reminder; 
L-isten to the Lord's counsel, 
E-ither ear must carefully hear. 

B-ring an early warning advice, 
E-very day, every night; 
R-emember God sixth of July, 
W-ere it not for Him, there'd be no light. 
E-vade the devil's lies, 
G-od has opened your eyes; 
A-s you travel the world, hold an early warning advice....

The Early Warning French Window
David J Walker

The unmistakable tapping
At the protruding 
French windows in
The breakfast nook
Is the early warning system
I’ve relied on 
betraying the otherwise
Silent arrival of a wintery day

Sleet and ice announce its 
Comings and goings 
before the unseen dawn 
The darkness extended to noon

Gray will be the color of today
Pitched against the icy white
And I might just stay 
Right here 
Watching the world from my
French Window...
