Chirping awakes me
Amber dawn heralds the day
Night's secrets now hide
The sun's wide grin smiles
Nature speaks with one voice
I worm out of bed
Stop, my sweet wife says
You're leaving me here to rot?
She fosters that look
Life's not that easy
Marriage taught me a great deal
The sun hides his face

Oh yes. Learn that lesson early.
ReplyDeletelovely crisp lines and imagery of a marriage by day and night
ReplyDeleteThe sun hides his face.. nice image!!!
ReplyDeleteinteresting view and lovely morning images.
ReplyDeleteWorming your way out of bed to catch the sun...a difficult choice of sweetness to start the morning
ReplyDeleteI'm with Jae Rose. But then, there is also sweetness in staying in bed all day.
ReplyDelete..and people ask me why I never married. Some of life's lessons are best unlearned!
ReplyDeleteMy Whirl is called Shhh...!
In agreement with JR. Your use of worm is fantastic! I can read the wife's look a couple different ways, and I appreciate that.
ReplyDeleteNight's secrets may be hidden by the sun, but they are not forgotten in the day.
ReplyDeleteOne often learns secrets which remain hidden before the time of marriage.
ReplyDeleteLovely write :D
That is one of the many lessons ~ Enjoyed your tercets ~
ReplyDeleteReally like the idea of the night hiding its face and drawing its secrets deeper into unknown darkness.

Life's not that easy
ReplyDeleteMarriage taught me a great deal
It about sums up everything life has to offer. A learning process in the beginning and an education throughout life.

how he basks in the new sun; this is a lovely haiku sequence
ReplyDeletethanks for dropping in at my Sunday Lime today
much love...
The story of the previous night hides but it may linger during the day. Staying in bed all day can be a good idea too, Robin
ReplyDeleteI can see your wife's expression.....and love "Marriage taught me a great deal." And you learned well , my friend.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the haiku and I love the worming out of bed to meet the sun and then having the sun hide his face when you change your mind ;-)
ReplyDeleteI've learned that marriage can be rewarding as well as decaying. different experiences for every relationship out there. good write.
ReplyDeleteI love that concept of 'amber dawn'. Lovely
ReplyDeleteOh my yes marriage has taught me a great deal as well....of course lingering in bed does have its advantages too Robin! ;)
