What do you think of this 'Morning Was Delivered, But Taken Back' morning pome?

Fingers of Dawn are

Covered by Night's sleeves...

Windows open wide,

An arm reaches in...

With cool winds boxed,

And colors wrapped, in a

Good Morning package

Of sky proportions...

Postage Due....I pay with

The Moon. Point the Postman

To the stars..."I don't have

Change for those," takes

Morning back and trundles

Off in his blinking firefly wagon.

Night returns, free of charge,

Croons sleep on my lids...

Morning disappears around

The bend, singing, laughing.

I am left with Darkness again.

Stodgy, sticky, Darkness.

Coffee pot begins to 'beep',

Call to battle sounding...

Army of two, me and the brew,

But Morning's been taken

Hours away. Do I pursue this

Morning in Night? With nothing

Of armor but a coffee cup?

Caffeine will not retreat, turn

Traitor...will it have the Magic

Of spelling Morning's Postman

To return? Unknown. The Moon

Knows, and stars. Only silence.

Left with alliances of that

Bridge, wicked in itself. All

I need do, is start the car...

Morning's Postman will

Follow me.

Good Morning! Good Morning!

Ya'llses!

Update:

Snidely...YOU crow this morning! My crow is asleep!

Update 2:

Lucky Man...Nope! Morning and I are not on speaking terms right now!

    In the poem all my WW2 service days were revisited In US terms "reveille and taps"

    service terms for morning call and day closure. Our own drill was the same but spelling was different. 5 and a half years of that is drilled into my being, along with a number not a name,

    just the last three "Sir !163" It will never go away no matter how much longer i might live.

    Shouldn't the one who sent the morning pay for the postage? Why were you left with postage due? Or was the postman trying to pull a fast one on you? In any event, he should have left you the morning, and taken back the night (and just kept the "change").

    I would rather hear you than Snidely. I need peace and quiet this morning. Wonderful imagery, especially "Morning's Postman."

    Good Morning to you. Let the animal sleep!

    What a cool write! I love this style, where the last word of one stanza begins the first word of the next. And good morning, light or no.

    Get up, Get up you sleepy head,

    Wake up Wake up, get out of bed

    Live, love, laugh and be happy.

    Sounds like good words to a song.

    Who knows I could be wrong.

    Live, love, laugh and be happy.

    It must be Friday that's why I'm so happy

    And this little poem is so crappy

    Live, love, laugh and be happy.

    Shut up Gale, and go back to bed.

  • You bring me back to memories of the graveyard shift..

    Driving home in a glorious sunrise and falling into my bed in a heap

    of exhaustion. It was a ritual that sometimes left me empty.

    I like this one, it is very nice.

    Where did the A.M. go

    as I awoke in dark of time,

    to meet the day, I ignored

    the clock of time, but the

    dark insists to stay.

    and I can't go back to bed!

    GM anyway.
