I'M NOT A MORNING PERSON

Actually, that's not true...

I’M NOT A MORNING PERSON

You birds are too loud,

Disturbing my sleep;

Please keep it to

A reasonable cheep.

 

Already the rising

Sun is too bright.

I cover my head

And long for the night.

I enjoyed this although I'm sort of a morning person! What I found intriguing was that you had ALL CAPS for the first line (which implies yelling on social media) and the next line was that the birds are too loud. Cute! I liked that.

[Marie]

Thanks a lot. But the part that was in all caps is supposed to be the title. I should have spaced it better.

[David Berger]

Ah, okay. I think it still works well as the first line. ;-)

Mam your poem is actually quite different and presents a different picture of early morning which is mostly appreciated by earlier poets, which is quite impressive.Would have like to read if it was a little long

I didnt think it was true Marie; not for one minute.
lol @ 'reasonable cheep' - great wit my friend.
I like the mornings.

[Rita L. Sev]

Lol! I know a lot of people who would agree with this, Marie - a fun write here! Personally, I am up by 5 every morning, and the birds make me smile... :)

I really don't mind the birds singing, or getting up early. But I recognize other people's right to hate morning.

Smiling, and realizing that I know a few people just like this. I simply cannot sleep past 5:45 am... so coffee is my first priority... Cheers! :)

i have felt like this enough mornings...like the scene in Romeo and Juliet...it's lark, the herald of the morn...and she says come back to bed, it's the nightingale----but no, it's the damn lark...and time to face the reality of the next day.

[Marie]

I have neither larks nor nightingales in my vicinity, just sparrows.

Very relatable and well-penned
Nice one, Marie!

This like how I was for the first half of my life. Now I get up in time to wake the chickens.

Actually, I do my best work in the morning, though I usually up past midnight.

Such a lovely post! Reminds me of the lazy Sunday mornings! :)
