A Poem About Our Morning


Before Dawn




White crescent moon smiles
on ears poking out
from under khaki ball cap.

Dad holds the door
little hands grip a 5am breakfast sandwich
climb in

Under the stars
windows open
father drives the beast
stacked with chicken cages

Farmers two
smile and wave
sharing pre-dawn
again

Hi Unknowngnome :)

4 am was far more fresh and invigorating than I thought it would be :)

... it makes 7am a little drowsy though... ;)
