Unto My Day

When I rise the timing is right.

I look to the window. 

I feel the forecast.

The freshest air lingers before

dawn peaks light.  I'm cold.

I see the pigeons fight under

the street light for Mr.

Lee's crumbled bread. In a flash, 

dash to the roof to retreat. An

alley cat. So hungry, could eat a

bat. Rats! struggle for a drop 

of water, poisoned by city workers.

Slowly the daylight is bursting out

her sunny sun.

I'm full of life, recharged and 

ready for today's fun.

The concrete jungle and all it's inhabitants. Preying upon opportunity. With the briskness of a falls morning in the air. That will wake you up and get you going.

Enjoyed your poem. Thanks for sharing.
