Sky pales into morning
not yet bright enough
to kill the lights
that man has filled the night with,
for that, we need the sun
still waiting for his cue,
no doubt a morning coffee
in his hand
to stoke the fires he'll shine
to make our day.
The weekend winds
have faded to a whisper
barely moving leaves outside,
the whipping curtains
at my door all still,
a drape of fabric framing
growing light as daytime
becomes now
no more tomorrow
as life moves on, relentless
in its passing and we each
give it our flavour of the day
a word of love, a smile,
a little needle in the side
a sudden jump to judgment
or a sigh, a tear of heartbreak
on the brink of happening
again. We make our choices
and we take our chance
and yet each moment
waits, unshaped until we tell it
what to wear, to carry in its pocket
so I choose love,
and love
and love again
despite the pinches
it has given me before
and will restart my day
each time it falters.



Good morning to you all.

Thank you! That was so nice.

Thank you for reading and commenting.

Your unique way of looking at the world, as ever shines BB, thanks for sharing

I dropped out of cyber space for a few minutes, power surge or something.

Hi Trish, how's the writing going? I have been MIA quite a bit lately, life is hopping business wise.

I simply love your Good morning poems ... but you know this Lady
btw have not checked out your tournament with Traveler and Class ... will do it later.

Lady I have a question ... the sun in your poem has a Male gender Why is that?

Good morning greetings in Barbados

Morning sweet Baja,lovely as always,thanks for sharing,have a good day honey

thanks for asking - Im living and learning as ever and will be so glad when all this academic stuff is over and done with - but it has been an amazing, if somewhat steep, learning curve

How is the refurb going - is it all completed now and your role established?

and how is the terror kitten doing ?

Good morning! I tend to associate the sun with greek myths and Apollo and generally assign masculine traits to it. Night and the moon can be either female or male depending on my mood at the time. Interesting observation...I had not given it a great deal of thought.

Traveler and I had quite a session. It was fun.

Enjoy life today!

Ho Lola, good to see you as always. Have a wonderful...afternoon by now isn't it? Anyway, have a great one.

Love learning but oh it can be so demanding! Good for you, girl!

Work is still in major flux, somewaht further unbalanced by the season and increased advertising etc. One thing at a time...it will come together.

Furball the terrorist thrives and is doing his best to import two more cats into the house. One a rather appealing nitwit (stray)who reacts a beat slow to everything..kind of like the turtles in that fish film or the chicken in surf's up. The other is a teenaged girl kitty who belongs to my neighbours but is never at home.

I am currently in a "I will follow the rules and get rid of him" state because he deliberately used my bookcase as a litterbox when I would not let him outside when the mean cat was there. Demon spawn cat! Next time I will let him take his chances.

Gotta go and become a producer. Have a recording booked at 10:30 so time to join the world.

Take care.

Good poem Bajan

I associate the moon with feminine traits, don't know why though

Maybe I just like the idea of moon goddesses
