Furball

Rooster crows after cat's meow ~
it's darkest before dawn,

    for my eyes have yet to open...

Lingering for a moment,
my arm still around my love,


insistant needs stir me to life --

    ...not mine, but those of
        a certain furball near my face.

Once again, I return to rest

    ...only to be awoken by the rooster.

Snippet, everyday life ~

morning ritual...

I swear I don't need an alarm clock, as Tubby (the cat) wakes me consistently around 7:30am! The rooster? Lisa's mom gave me an alarm clock ~ that crows like a rooster...

    hahah, warm & realistic little snippet about the crazy things that wake us up. for me, it's a really loud dumpster truck outside, every morning before 8. i love the use of the ellipses and the dashes, you pulled them off well.

    thanks for entering!

    that little wretch! But very effective because then you might think about feeding the poor neglected little thing.

    Enjoyed your write.

    I smiled at the fun in the first line, since cats are famous for eating birds...lol...Your morning ritual sounds furry, and gives a sense of feeling fuzzy headed in the morning. I liked this alot. Hope it does well in the contest. Peace, Rhonda
