Morning Glory


Melodies, cacophonies, shrieks and shrills and
orange sparks and lemon highs,
rambunctious sparrows treading sky, chasing
night away, and
I, no longer warm and cosy.
Never mind,
guten morgen,
get the paper (running naked through the yard)
let the neighbors get an eyeful (apologize for psyches scarred)
oh! The sprinklers!
Rise and shine, and check the Lotto,
yep! Two numbers.  Life is hard.

Nan (Pilgrim variety)

Howdy, Pilgrim! ~ A morning filled with 'gloriousness'! lol

Oh, and thanks for the "guten morgen". I often say it ("Good morning" in German as you well know! lol) ~ But I never knew how to write it!

A fun read from a fun gal!

"Life is hard" lol  

This qualifies as a delightfully "unacceptable" metaphor sufficiently buried in delightfully acceptable language methinks.
