Rude Awakening!
61
A poem...
Sensuous arms of sleep still encompassing body and soul.
Mind in cozy oblivion.
Coax the alarm clock into some extra snooze time.
Eyelids heavier than lead.
Joints and muscles revolting against this rude awakening.
Timer operated coffeemaker.
Caffeine vapour sensor alarm system activated.
Body springs to life.

Tick tock, tick tock, the time bomb
Of life is about to explode - BOOM!
"Wake up, dear," it says...
You have one of the most unique styles I've come across, I have to say, I love it!
I'm jealous of your time-operated coffee-maker. :p
Love it!
Thanks everyone for taking a look! Poetry is not my strong form, but this one just kind of jumped out at me, over the holidays.
regards Zsuzsy
it's adorable and I'm delighted to see you writing poetry. :)
Love the "cosy oblivion" - pretty dreams are made of this! Sighhhhhhhhhh
Smiles and Light
Thanks, writing stories has been something I've always wanted to do. So I really haven't spent much time on poetry. I'll keep trying I guess.
regards Zsuzsy
This completely tickles me.
I taught early morning Seminary to High School students for a couple of years. Seminary is religious instruction for our young people. It started at 6:10 am, Monday through Friday, throughout the school year.
I developed an interesting relationship with morning myself. Ugh!

Thanks for taking a look.I'm usually an early riser (5:30 every morning) I was staying at my daughters for almost three weeks for the holiday season. We have a bad habit of staying up chitting and chatting till 2-3 in the morning. Not a big deal except that my granddaughters are also early risers (6:00 AM). By the end of my holiday I was getting a little ragged around the ears. But I enjoyed every tiny second of my stay and didn't want to waste it sleeping. So coffee has become my elixer of life. regards Zsuzsy
Wasn't a rude awakening at all.Body springing up should give you all the energy for the day's work.Great poem.
That's a good parallel, Zsuzsy, if I got it right. I'm activated by the smell of tea in the morning, or coffee, depending upon my coffeemaker, my wife.
I get up when I wake do 30 mins of exercise, shave and shower and go to work at my desk.
Val and I go for an hours walk some where between 11.00 AM and 3.00 pm for one hour. Sooner or later, when Val cooks the dinner, I do the dishes, more work and go to bed about 11.00 PM
We all need that coffee boost from time to time. great poem.
Abhinaya! Maybe 'the body springs to life' is a little slower now-a-day. Thanks for taking a look.
regards zsuzsy
Kenny! Thanks for stopping by. I too enjoy tea but I have to have that first cup or two or three first thing in the morning. I had to result to a timered automatic coffee-maker as my regular coffeemaker (my daughter) has gone away to college. (We never know how good we have it till its gone.....)
regards Zsuzsy
Mr.M. You sure have a well organized life. I'm an insomniac so its only 4 or 5 hours of sleep for me. (which is quite great as I don't want to waste my life sleeping, too much to do and read)
regards Zsuzsy
Very short and very sweet Zsuzsy..
I get woken up everyday very rudely yert lovingly with a cat paw smacking my forehead every morning!
Lovely! The first line, especially! :)
Compu-smart!
I know what you mean, my kitty likes to sharpen her claws in my calf muscle. How rude is that?
regards Zsuzsy
Now, now, Isabella! glad you came to take a look.
regards Zsuzsy
Excellent Poem, I used to feel the same and used to have coffee makers start automatically :) Initially I had too many problems waking up, usually takes an hour to be in equilibirium, but my brother suggested this simple exercise, which I do every day keeps me awake and sharp, without having to take coffee.
Cgull! sorry to say this but the coffee is more of an incentive to me than the exercises. I need to be fortfied with my coffee before I attempt any.
thanks for taking a look regards Zsuzsy
I loved this, once upon a time i found in hard to get up in the morning, then a friend who is into motivational stuff said why do not just jump up and put on your happy shoes... well some days I do... laughs
Drax
Thank you Sir Drax! That means a lot coming from a pro like you.
regards Zsuzsy

PARIS -- It seems that it now is hard to get a cup of Turkish coffee in Tel Aviv. Israel's patriotic restaurant owners are giving Turkey the "freedom fries" treatment because of the Turkish decision to exclude Israel from the annual air combat exercises that since 2001 Turkey has been sponsoring in collaboration with its allies.
