Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Prelude to a working day

 

The toast was warm and buttery

The coffee, hot and strong

The radio played a reminisce

From sunny days long gone

I sipped away the aches & pains

And watched the morning light 

Brush honey upon the basking birds

That sang with all their might

The open door leaked warming breeze

And a hint of dewy blooms

But, time tick-tocked reality

To rejoin life's spinning looms

Aye, John, lucky sod ?. I've snapped the thread to the loom & legged it!
Until tomorrow ?
And thanks for the like Gregg!

And I thank my lucky stars that these days, Stephen, there is no urgency to rejoin those spinning looms (fabulous line!). Instead I watch others go.

This is a beautiful poem, Stephen. Lovely rhythm and that hint of sadness at the end. Glad you left yours in, Julie.

Lovely?. Note to self never post a write just after one of yours. Think I may take mine down? Have a good one.
