Hour 20: The daily grind

In morning’s gentle light, I rise with the sun, A daily routine, a rhythm, begun. With coffee’s warm embrace, I start the day, To chase my dreams, in my own unique way Through hours that follow, tasks neatly align, A dance of duties, a life…

Solitary

I’m being released by my own congnizence this morning, that, rhyming naturally is harder than it’s made to look. No warnings issued, but a few fellow poets clanked on my cell to let me know I’d been seen, and I did likewise. I hope, as…
