In the Morning

IN THE MORNING In the morning I chew on birds, East-caffeinated chirping words.* My adjectives ink-up with dawn, To catch the shimmer of a fawn. My mind’s sharp though my eyes are blurred. With strong coffee my poem’s stirred. Day shades blue and green as I yawn, in the morning. In the shadow of silent-curds, the first light’s delphinium-spurred, my muse ~ with brush in hand has drawn ~ Of flowing quill-stars I’m a pawn. The whispers in my ear oft heard In the morning. 7/19/2019 Rondeau Poetry Contest Sponsor - Charles Messina *East as in the sun rises in the East

I love so much in this - 'day shades of blue and green' and 'my muse/with brush in hand has drawn' - such a smooth flow, good luck in the contest!
