Summer morning
Didn't need an alarm this bright morning
As birds chatter and quarrel in the trees
Peek out the curtain, no sign of a breeze
Rained last week but the bright sun's now shining
Clouds high in sky, and moon grins like a cheese
Slowly fades from sight now brought to its knees
A grunt beside me, at last wife's waking
I go to the kitchen, jug and cups await
Dog at the door, his tail wags at a rate
He dashes round garden, jug's now singing
Now back in the bedroom your eyes I see
You say "the tea can wait" beckoning me
We both wake up with the dog barking
I stagger to garden door to let him in
Quiet day at home is what I'm thinking

Sounds perfect to me. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely memories.
ReplyDeletePerfect. I love how the moon tries to hang on--and then, we don't truly need the moon to stay in bed, do we? Lovely!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful. I was there, as I read, a little glimpse of heaven.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a most delightful day. What a nice write.

Such a wonderful scene you paint in this poem, Robin ❤️ A quiet day at home sounds good to me 😊
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely morning — the intimacy and warmth of it made me smile. Also, I really liked the image of the moon brought to its knees. :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch a succulent (maybe titillating?) domestic scene!
