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

  1. Perfect. 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!

  8. Such 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. :-)
