Getting up early anyway
making coffee like a weekday
Nothing to do
but the mess
of the week
and late night
residue
I putter in
early dawn PJ's
and slippers
Greet the garage
to stir the coals
and build a fire
in the wood burning stove
Back for that second cup
and another look
at what's to do
Put my clothes on
and brush my hair
Start working on
the worst of it
I'm not in the mood
for folding and hanging
So I slip back out
to the garage
to pick up after poker nite.
The wood stove
softly crackles
pull up a chair
it is warm over here
I sit and suddenly
I'm sleepy
Leaning back with heavy lids
a poem comes lightly
contemplating my dreams

I love this Lori. It's so visual I thought I was there. You have a great talent.
Namaste,

You made it so we all are sitting in that chair, our eyelids getting heavy, and zzzzz

Marcia and Jerry...just between you and me this little poem is a diversion from the aforementioned folding and hanging...

Thanks

I loved peeking through your windows, dear Lori. That's the way to invite the muse! Very nice and enjoyable.
