Sunday Scribblings - August 7th, 2011

I haven't participated in Sunday Scribblings for a while. It's good to be back. The prompt for this week is: pleasure. My offering is an adaptation of a couple of short pieces I wrote earlier this year. The pleasure of Sunday mornings. 


Sunday morning 


Window slightly ajar 
Light makes art on the screen 
My feet poke out 
From under sheets 
Tickled by a gentle breeze 
Outside - birds sing and squawk 
Sounds paint through my mind 
Thick blobs, blurred at the edges 
Trails of even spaced dots
In the lull I tune 
to the gentle, regular ticking 
of the clock 
A little slower than my heartbeat 
Cocooned between stretch and doze 
I ease my way 
into the day

  3. Now this is a pleasure everyone should know (not the hangover kind where everything hurts on a Sunday morning). Great piece, fantastic flow to it. Thanks for sharing!
