Misty Morning Satire (written on the eve of 7 Nov)

Rate: 11 Flag

 

 

 

 

Misty Morning

 I woke up this morning and grey was the dawn.

I sighed and I shuffled as the coffee got warm.

A chat with the cat revealed nothing at all;

her air quite snooty, her humor too droll.

Pushing aside the morning news

I gaze out the window in search of a muse.

Twenty years hence and still they speak not;

entombed somewhere in realms forgot.

Twenty! and yet four more

I lend my soul to this unwritten lore.

It often occured when was not the time

though not for want of meter nor lack of rhyme.

No. More often than not no thoughts availed

thus the writing of this poem failed.

Takes a LOT of talent to (IMHO) write such a witty AND rhyming poem!

My cat sucks too.

You know for a fact that this is my favorite poem of yours! The lake pic goes perfectly with this one, good choice.

I don't know, sounds like the muse is hanging around to me. I liked the start of another day aspect in the beginning.

Wonderful poem, Rose. Rhyming poetry is the hardest to pull off without seeming like the poem was created for the rhyme, but you've done it here. Awesome!

"A chat with the cat revealed nothing at all"

I would have a talk with Andy if this was otherwise. Good job

Good poem, witty and yet makes you want to sit down along with you and the cat and wait for that cup of coffee to get done.

The Wright Sight: Thank you! LoL Chatting with Andy in the morning can sometimes be just as revealing! Wait, no... that's me before the coffee. Or maybe it's both of us? Oh dear. Nevermind! Glad you stopped in!

I can't write poetry, but I know when I like it, and I love this. Funny and thoughtful both at once; that's not easy to pull off:)
