The Morning Poem by Paul Warren

The Morning

Rating: 5.0


Tepid water from the bathroom tap
Washes my face with a flanneled slap
The water trickles between my fingers
My reflection in the mirror now lingers
Whilst I study the dampened brow
My face portrays the years unbowed

The morning's call a morning news show
Tells me a lot more than I want to know
Microwaved wheat- bix and milk spooned
As I ponder the morning's gloom
No anticipation of the coming day
Just a routine hum-drum not delayed.

Rapid sound of water with morning call you have perceived well and presented. An interesting poem is excellently penned.

With the growing age when one has finished almost all responsibilities and has ample time at his disposal, life becomes a bit monotonous. The routine sometimes gives space for a sort of melancholy too.However, positive approach towards life and living soon drives it away making us happy. Thanks for sharing an intimate thought provoking state.10 points.
