Unto My Day

Unto My Day

A Poem by ROXANE DORSEY

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.

Ah I wish I had your energy to start off my day sadly that rarely happens. I like the somewhat rap quality in this write. Nicely penned. (:

sublime beauty and appreciation in the pre dawn ... totally relate to those moments .. i am up early and the dogs demand i go out into the yard and enjoy the coming of the day ... i am in a forest and your poem is in the city ... which is something i like a lot about this poem ... to appreciate such glory in the midst of the city is awesome says i!

love poetry since it has been embedded in my mind deeply way back when I was 4 years old. A very good reader in pre-school. Nursery rhymes tuned me in even deeper. more..
