Saturday Morning Poem, or, Slice of Life Day 25

Written by

Amy Crehore

in

Waking up before the city

on a weekend morning,

the only light coming from

the glow of the TV,

aerial view left on

hovering over bridges

cars, mountains.

Outside,

dark, sun still sleeps,

car headlights glow

as they take workers

to weekend jobs,

partiers

home from a long

night out.

You tossed and

turned in bed,

hoping to fall back to sleep,

but thoughts swirled

neck sore (from the pillow?

from the first workout

you did in a while?)

and eventually at 6:37am

you rose up,

ready to greet the day.

Day 25 of 31

    The progression of your words seems to follow the progression of the morning, all the way to the end when you rise up to greet the day. Nicely done!

    I like the idea of waking up before the city and all the early morning experiences you had before the inevitable getting up. I always wake up way too early!

    Your line breaks and personification really work to set the scene and mood of this poem.
