Tanka Diary [awakened Too Early On Saturday Morning] Poem by Harryette Mullen

Tanka Diary [awakened Too Early On Saturday Morning]



Awakened too early on Saturday morning
by the song of a mockingbird
imitating my clock radio alarm.

*

Walking along the green path with buds
in my ears, too engrossed in the morning news
to listen to the stillness of the garden.
