Description
Up At The Crack Of Dawn (Not!!)
The alarm went off
Just the way I wanted it to
It went off, though I
Was already awake
Today was the day
I was going to get up
Really early
At the crack of dawn
I was going to see the swans
Those beautiful swans
I was going to watch them
Wake up and take flight
Hundreds of swans in the air
Flying for the day
Out to breakfast
Then out to lunch
But it was cold
And I couldn’t get out of bed
Even to see the swans
I’m a wuss

Im up before the crack of dawn (4-30am) almost everyday, not to see swans though but to go to work!

It's the crack of dawn here (or will be soon) and I'm still awake. I love the closing line in this poem...it's such a poetic clincher! Great work, fantastic, fun image too!

My stars... I'm up at 5 a.m. every morning and would you believe I miss dawn because I'm on the treadmill in the workout room. Is there really life out there as the sun comes up? LOL

Wonderful stuff! I love your writing. It's hard to believe you haven't been doing this all your life! :)

I have my own theory about the crack of dawn, but I won't muck up this thread with it, anyway Nice Poem and Piccie!!!

Oh I do so relate to that!! The only time I manage it is for the British Trust for Ornithology, for which I do some annual breeding bird surveys in the spring. Having committed to do it, there is no excuse!

Thanks for sharing this one, Marilyn. It has put a smile on my face and brightened this cold, Wintry, Eastern day. LOL, here...the crack 'o dawn is when I decide to pull myself out of bed!

Honestly Marilyn, this has cracked me up in more ways than one, I recieved an email a couple of days ago and it contained a cartoon drawing of a man in bed with his wife's rear end stuck in his face, the caption was, Bill always wakes at the crack of Dawn. ROFLMAO! So you see this just came along at the right moment, I am sat here splitting my sides, but I don't think you are a 'wuss' at all. I love it! Excellent work. Bravo!!!!!

If it was meant you would have done it. I have always loved that bit of my Gran's logic, blame it on fate. But I can almost see them "hundreds of swans in the air". Tomorrow. BJ

Oh how I hate to get up in the morning, Oh how I hate to get out of bed....(Irving Berlin song from WWI) LOL at your title and prose, Marilyn! Actually, I don't blame you for not wanting to get up out of a warm bed, but, in contrast, unless there's an approaching cloudburst on tap, I almost always roll out of bed, not only at the crack of dawn, but way before then if there's a rare photograph of opportunity to be taken, be it fog, morning colors and/or shadows, the landing of a UFO, whatever.
