Some mornings
early mornings
before you wake
the World is clear
all the obstacles
all the confusions
are gone
Some mornings
early mornings
you have the answers
The only problem
is to write them down
before the real morning
when the real you
wakes to his life
his obstacles
his confusion
Not often
three or four times
in a life maybe
everything
is clear
There are no better feelings
than capturing these mornings
Edison said
"Ninety nine percent perspiration"
but that is the other days
these special days
need no effort
just luck
and the skill to know
and write it down
I wish
I so wish
You all could have such a day
Author notes
In a previous incarnation I was, amongst other things, an inventor. The crystal clear joy of waking on a dark night with the whole of a finished idea in your head is beyond anything, even a poem.

Deft use of syntactical repetition and assured tone of understatement champions your cause: some days are very wonderful to the human psyche.
I really appreciated the free verse on display here.

The whole of a finished idea in my head would be wonderful on any occasion! I suppose all ideas have a finish, for nothing is new under the sun, but I am happy just to get flashes of inspiration that let me know I'm not totally shelved yet. Mornings are always welcome with me.
On a clear day....
I like this very much! ~Karen

Yes he did; I believe he said: "Ninety nine percent perspiration, ten percent urination". Once again you compose a wonderful free verse. I really do understand ever since you lost your confidence in rhyme. Wonderful poem my friend.
Love,

I love your thoughts and ideas behind this one. If I wake in the night the confusion is still there, how I wish for clarity.....
A good free write, all the best
