>Mornings – silence – please
Sun shining in my windows
bright, blinding me
Always in a rush, looking at the clock
I’m late … as I spill my coffee
I can’t stand drivel at this time of day
keep it to yourself
Sure the garden looks nice in this light
I’d rather be in bed – under the comforter
My dogs always greeting me
forever faithful friends
I’d rather be in bed – covers over my head
Troublesome and annoying – mornings
Nighttime – stillness – delight
A comfortable place to sink into
I watch the sky change colours,
look at stars, examining every subtlety
Feel the coolness entering
the air, so I may wrap it
around me, relax …
Listening to quiet noises of an evening unwind …
Give me nighttime … I don’t like mornings
>ah…thank you for ending peaceful…i was feeling rather frantic with the beginning…and a bit sad at spilling the coffee…smiles. nice one shot
>love it Pam the nightmare of night..a blessing to the nightmare of day…. and I find if I drink my coffee in bed..it does not spill as much….bkm
>Very nice, Pamela. We share the same opinion of morning and night. 🙂
>All ends peaceful at the end of the day Brian:)
>Maybe I should try that, Barb;)
>zouxzoux, I love the evening, but the mornings have always been challenging for me. I love my bed:)
>Beautiful! Although I might be a bit biased as I feel you could have been writing it for me-darn those mornings!
>A very effective statement on the frantic and demanding quality of our modern lives–bound to the artificial imperatives of the clock. I can't imagine primitive man jumping out of his cave at the crack of dawn to go pound out a flint knoife or something–humans like their actions to have meaning, and the mindlessness of having to live to an inflexible schedule is very wearing on the soul. Nice writing, and I agree completely.
>More like damn those mornings :)Thanks for visiting.
>Joy Ann I detest how I always watch the clock.But if I don't I will be late. When I am not ona schedule I rarely look at a clock. I have neverliked mornings and knowing people who do, well I admire them.
>Amen, sister! Now pass the coffee, will ya? 🙂
>I'm just saying Eric:)
>I used to feel the same way. Now my time is mostly my own so mornings have become a very pleasantly active space. It took a great deal of time though. Love the poem, the rush and frustration you managed to convey so easily,Elizabeth
>I don't like mornings either…but I think I like the night even more now. 🙂
>A nice, quiet evening with a drink and someone close.Then a nice, quiet and SLOW morning after with the same someone, enjoying morning coffee. Sounds good to me!
>Elizabeth as a child I didn't like the mornings or rainy days. My sister still teases me about how I would cry when it rained. I do in fact like my quiet time in the morning, if I don't have to be somewhere. It just seems most times I have to be somewhere. Therefore I love the evenings.
>Thanks autumnraven, the nights are special to me.
>Eric, that is a weekend for me. I love Fridays and Saturdays for exactly those and more reasons.I don't like to rush around, but also I am not willing to get up earlier. Go figure:)
>I can so relate to this. I am definitely NOT a morning person. It is a beautiful time of day with the light and all though if I can ever make myself get up early enough to enjoy it. I too would much rather be under the covers!
>Just read your poem Peggy and I can relate to it.
>Pamela, this is a great poem. I have had mornings like this, when I just don't want to hear anything. But mostly I like mornings, out or inside. I love your description of the evening, the comfort and consolation of night time.
>Shari, first of all thanks and I am happy to see you around again. But in all honesty I prefer the night. No hurries, no rushing, just enjoying the time, my family and friends.
>hahahah…was this me reading your poem, or was it my own mind!??! Oh Pam… I so share your sentiment, my dear…. Mornings can be really beautiful…but waking up (early and unwillingly) ain't! 🙂 Jeezz.. I can relate to this one hundred percent!
>You make night sound so delicious.
>Mornings like that are no fun! Love your descriptions of the night, Pam. Nice poem
>Kavita seems many share my views:)
>Irene nighttime is delicious to me:)
>Thanks much Adam.
>Good job, Pam.Not a morning person, either.
>Barb, thanks, mornings are not fun!
>Agreed!
>Thanks for visiting booguloo.
>Relatable, superb word choice/flow work.
>Thanks Steve. I really dislike mornings:)
>Well written, Pamela. You made your feelings very clear. Mostly I am a morning person rather than a night owl! We are different in that way.
>Viva la differencia! Give me the night:)
>Clear! Good read!
>Thanks Kenny.
>I am a morning person. I gotta be. I go to school before 7!zeroing into the arrow
>Gautami, I used to have to be at work by 7, but myschedule changed in June. I now work mostly in the afternoon. Which is just fine with me:)
