Mornings

mornings are overrated

early risers have been

the bane of my life

they're so chirpy 

about morn delights

the bracing energy

of dawn's light

one comes to doubt 

one's owlish nature

and gives it a try

the first three hours

are so busy to rush up

to be there to welcome

noon and its cohort

that it is much better

to not bother about them

then the following ones 

wait in passive attendance

to go back to their slumber

there's not much more

to add to mornings

mornings are so overrated.
