The Morning Story

I try not to write poems directly online, lest my shaky internet connection dies and I lose all I've written! Vut Word also has a word count feature, and this poem clocks in at 97 words, including the title, and there aren't any overly repeated ones.

The Morning Story

It's loud outside,
birds are yammering
nine-to-the-dozen.
A snub-nosed bee
unrushed,
makes working hard sound like a lazy sloop.
If I listen hard
I can hear an ant
Sneeze, ashoooooo
as pollen tickles its nose.
An asthmatic worm
pokes its bald head
into the light of this April morning
and sleepily blinks.
A spontaneous shower
revitalises sun-angled stems
with its Niagara jolt
that will gradually seep through to the roots.
