It sneaks in, pouring like warm honey
through the cracks of
my window shade.
The city streets stretch–
and slowly liven as
icy dew forms
upon my soul,
for I too must rise
and shine for another day of
absolute horseshit at literally the most
Mundane.
Job.
Ever.
Fine, sunrise,
you relentless nag.
I’m up,
but I swear I’ll quit today
if that bubbly,
know-it-all bitch, Denise,
doesn’t stop squawking about her wedding.
Now that’s poetry I can relate to!
Many a sunrise has been ruined by leading into a workday.

The iambic pacing is wonderful, thoughtful and sticks it up Denise’s bottom!

Thank you. Someone else commented and said it was sorrowful–so I’m glad you understood what was happening there.

WELL it’s a sunset rustic barn wedding, something about pictures in a cornfield, blah blah blah that’s usually when I zone out.

Thanks, Amy! If I was having a wedding I’d probably do it too, just not as loudly and boastfully.

That’s a great shift in tone from the sleepy, velvety description at the beginning to the griping at the end. 🙂 I love it.

I’d be okay with that, though I always like to read things that are mixed up a bit too. I like your romantic poems, too. Mixing it up, for me, tends to increase the impact of a change in style.
