Neighborhood Supernova

My experiment of turning my first thought of the morning into a poem.

From under  

drawn window shades

I peak to see

the sparkling

blob of a supernova

hurtling toward me.

But that was in the days

of youthful indiscretion

and before I put my glasses on

to realize

it’s a streetlight

in the early morning dark.

That works! ..mission accomplished, Rutherford. It even has that early-morning groggy feel to it - a sort of pre-coffee moment as the eyeballs clear and the fuzziness of sleep gives way to the knowledge that one is awake, again, and the contemplations begin; another day - what to do - what to do?

[rutherford]

Yes -- we're connected. There's always that dazed moment of here we are again. Wow.

Nice humor, really. Haha. Thank you for giving me an idea on what it feels like to be a little older. :)

Nicely done on how our mind can fool the eyes.

A very refreshing piece, a great theme of mornin'. You did a great job here well transformed some realistic moments into the deep down words.

I am enjoying these "first thoughts" pieces, John - these early morning musings are a glimpse of you, "unplugged" - before the day has tainted your perceptions.

The path of stars morphs
to the walk of shame
when the sun comes up.
All good boys and girls
ought to be in bed
and they were
while you were ....

Ha! It sucks to grow older! (I hate that I need bifocals now) This gave me a chuckle, Rutherford. I can picture the flash of light hurtling him back under cover. Angi~

Thanks Angie. My first thoughts of the morning often feel the most pure somehow.
