This time I actually DID do Bobbi's challenge...writing through a migraine so if it sounds a bit surreal, that's my excuse. Be back to read as soon as the headache clears.

Morning Chat With Myself 

(Bobbi’s Challenge)


 

Only half awake,

Sitting in the kitchen,

I nurse a cup of coffee

Hoping for the caffeine rush

To chase me from

My fading dream

 

Entranced by the angelfish

Swimming mindlessly

In his artificial ocean

I make the connection

“He is not unlike me on

My daily commute to the city”

 

“What is the purpose of colorless sheer curtains?”

I see the darkness of night

Fading and yielding to

A rose colored sky

Thinking “Red sky in morning…”

I laugh, “Sailor take warning, you bet cha!”

 

I grab a dress from my closet

Toss a towel on the counter

“Damn, I hate ironing

Seatbelt just wrinkles it again anyway”

I recall the first time I wore this dress

“It was when I dated that clown…what’s his name…?”

 

“Dammit!” burned my arm on the freakin iron

“Man!!! What a sting!!

How many years have I been ironing???

Still haven’t figured it out, way to go, girl!!”

Radio blaring some garbage

About kids beating up their teacher

 

The world has become embroiled,

Conflict and chaos everywhere

Homeless people on every corner

“There but for the grace of God go I, I suppose”

Check the news about the traffic

Get advice on the alternates

 

“Jeez, another day,”

Starts the same as all the rest

“I wonder what little surprises

I will have when I get to work, today?!!”

“Doesn’t really matter, I guess

At least Friday is payday”

That's the day we all live for...Friday...giggle. I love this sis, it is so true, and I have had days like this before I started having medical problems. I've never had a migraine, but I have had headaches from a work related stress. I think Ronald said it best tho...giggle. Thnx for sharing this wonderfully cute poem with us. I love every line, because I can relate...giggle. May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie



Also, thnx for the review of Is This Love. And, yes, I hope before I pass away, I will actually know true love.

Well, if this is either migraine-driven, or "An ordinary day in the life of"-driven, it is still wonderfully poetic and superbly well-crafted within the constraints of the challenge. Flows and reads effortlessly and is compelling... a paradox to the mood that is intended to be conjured, perhaps. Brilliant, Sherry! "What is the purpose of colorless sheer curtains?" I see the darkness of night Fading and yielding to A rose colored sky... Aaahh!! The mind of a poet at work amidst life's daily grind. Love it. Thank you, Kate xx

You really did do a superb job on Bobbi's Challenge, considering you had the handicap of a bad migraine, it must have been that coffee that did the trick !!
