WINTER DAY DAWNING
The morning star paled slowly in the early light of day,
The milky way has disappeared somewhere along the way.
Trees and shrubs are coming from behind the night time gloom.
Soon, I'll see all the view from the window of my room.
The light inside is better now; I can see a curtained square.
The ceiling is almost visible and looks to be quite bare.
I cannot see the cobwebs, but I know they'll still be there.
Its time to make a move to start the workings of the day,
I'll leave my warmth and comfort, the quiet in my room
To go out into the fields to see what's happening there.
Its an effort to start on a cold winter's morning.

This was a wonderful poem with a story about how you wake up in the morning. An early poem of yours that is so gentle in its delivery. I noticed in this one that the first part of your poem rhymed and the last part didn't. The last four line were a bit of a throw off, but the poem itslef was wonderful. Perhaps this was deliberate on your part. Anyway, I loved it.

Lee, you are digging back into my page, I wrote this one when I was caretaking a cattle farm a few years ago. It does need editing again, but for all that , it is pretty much accurate in how I felt when I woke in the early hours and waited for daylight to go and start the days work. Thank you for visiting and commenting. Shows me I have work to do at some time, to bring my older stuff up to scratch. I do appreciate your visits, you are always welcome.

Sounds like the keeper of the flock or perhaps his own wonderful part of Earth. Anyway your read did create a picture that was very visual. well done

I prefer to be the keeper of my part of this planet. Its too big for me to care for it all but I feel responsible for the bit I use.Thank you for an encourageing comment.

Winter is just around the corner for us, but this year I have one big variant from last year. When its cold, frosty and miserable outside I shall put another log on the fire and stay indoors.
Thank you for our encourageing comment.

Thanks Jackie, I like the mornings of summer, nice and warm, but don't like the extreme heat we get here. Winter mornings are Ok once I get started.

Thanks Rob, I like the morning warmth of the summer but prefer the cool day temperatures of winter.

Oh, how I know that feeling, on a winter morning, not wanting to get out of bed just yet. I love the line /I cannot see the cobwebs but I know they'll still be there/. Once you're out and doing, it's better, though, isn't it?

The day is so much better when you are out and moving.Yes that is true, and on a winter morning the air is usually so clear and crisp. It's exhilarating, even when its freezing. Thank you for your comments. We share similar outlooks in winter, jsu another few minutes inthe warm bed.
