MORNING

On January 16, 2012March 11, 2013 By Baydreamer - Lauren ScottIn Life

A little past dawn
Light invites itself
streaming through
the window
Feeling the stare
my eyes open
only to realize
night has bid farewell
Dreading
getting out of bed
and the biting cold
when toes touch the floor
I pull the covers over my head
Bodies warm and cozy
A duet, all snuggly
lying next to my hubby
Daybreak can wait
I’m not willing
to greet
the chilling
hour
just yet

I love this poem! Great use of the senses, and love your phrasing of “Light invites itself” – wonderful word choice here. Your imagery is wonderful, and allows the reader to feel the moment; very well done! ~ Julie 🙂

Glad you’re feeling better. It is always good to get a lie-in in the morning, especially when it is cold.

What a lovely way to spend the morning — snuggling. I don’t blame you for wanting to stay in bed.

Unlike some of us who just bound out of bed to great the day with a smile and a song! NOT.

Very polished, completed morning poem here, Lauren. When you said “I felt the stare” I thought of my four legged family members staring at me demanding silently to go outside, no matter the cold! The ending makes me want to snuggle again, even though I am in an office!

  Thanks, Rose, and I miss my four-legged family member! But, I think in the next couple of months, we’ll be looking for a new companion; not to replace Lucky Girl, but to add to our canine memories~I wish I could stay in bed, but off to work we all go! Hugs!

Lovely imagery, I hate getting out of bed in the morning.
Something feels so good when you stay in bed when you are not supposed to, it’s a feeling that can’t be replicated
