Why?

it’s so kinda strange
so much of the usual
accomplished
this morning

ahead of schedule
ahead of rushing
yet
here I sit
seeking some poesy
to place on the page

instead of putting myself
together for the day
the rest of the way

instead of hitting the threshold
early
I sit
bathing in the moments
to write
to seek some sort of outlet
for this time

where’s my common sense
why don’t I rise
get ready early for a change
put all the quacks in line
cross my eyes and dot my tees

then find my supine moments
to unravel this caffeine
of morning’s energy find?

why?

do I have some intrigue
with hurry, scurry?

is it not the beginning of day
unless I’m rushing the gauntlet
with harried hands and feet?

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

poesy...a pet name I have for poetry/prose  or maybe I should say a 'childlike' name

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Poesy, prosody, either acceptable terms for poetic works, verse etc. Modern life's a damn clock and it's important for most here to emote and find the "time" to do so or peruse and find kindred spirits in the poesy of others. Enjoyed

Why? Because you are too busy finding your 'comma sense' which makes more sense to you some days. Me too.
