Early morning. (contest) More points now Thanks to Alleksa Jan who has sponsored this contest.

Tell me about how you feel when you wake up, what's make you feel dreadful or what's make you feel great
Please lets talk about winter time ONLY when it is cold and you would rather like staying in bed.
What I need is a lot of imagery, about your feelings may be what you drink (coffee tea).Your thoughts, if you are in a rush.

More than anything I like a nice flow if you have to choose between a lot of vocabulary and a nice flow I rather like something more simple with a nice flow.

No Christmas morning there is so much about it already.

Some rules now:

Not too long 50 lines maximum.
No STICKY CAPS or other FuNnY tYpO.
NO Swearing I won't even read.
NO rhymes
Spell check.
No abstract I like clarity.(abstract is great but not for a contest about feelings and concrete imagery.)

Prewrites are allowed but please make sure they are about the subject and follow the rules.

To give you an Idea of early morning feelings (and morning coffee) read my poem. "Tasty smell"
http://allpoetry.com/poem/2370915.
Please contests are blind so you do not have to comment on it and do not answer my comments.

That is it have fun and enjoye it.

    great idea, but if i could understand it, it would be really great. Its just worded weirdly, but that might just be me.
    Srry for wasting your time.

    Made an attempt, but my days and nights combine completely due to 2 jobs and school
    I'm never asleep, not even holidays.
    I don't even remmember waking up from years past(serious head trauma issues, please don't ask)
    So I cannot enter this contest
    But I thank you for being patient with me and explaining it to me.

    Hi! I have submitted my poem "My Window Has Betrayed Me....Again!" but, for some reason, I don't see it listed. Does that mean it didn't qualify for the contest? Just curious. THanks! Sincerely, Mary
