A whisper of breeze comes tickling in through the window
lifting the curtain ever so slightly
and allowing a small shaft of sunlight to trickle in.
It caresses your cheek so intimately
as you lie in blissful slumber
that I am jealous
and long to fly back to your side.
But the hour is late
and I am later still.
With one last parting glance
I throw a kiss your way.
Pity my aim is so poor.

Day Six:ย Aubade
Todayโs prompt springs from the form known as the aubade.
These are morning poems, about dawn and daybreak.
Many aubades take the form of loversโ morning farewells.
๐ ย This short aubade has a little twist at the end.

I was encouraged to see something more light-hearted…until the end. Oh well. It does make for a memorable poem–more memorable for the twist at the end.

Terrible, isn’t it? I wasn’t going to end that way, but I do have atrocious aim. ๐

When writing, the words just take over and we don’t often know how things will end, do we?

So true! ๐

Had to laugh at the last line! Wasnt what I was expecting for the poem started off so sweet, but liked it! I identified with it, I can’t aim for anything, LOL!

I meant by that comment that my coordination is not the greatest, Ha!

Mine either! I was always the last picked for the basketball team, and then put on defence. I couldn’t hit the side of a barn . . . ๐

I thought the end was a great twist. Yes, this morning I caught myself kissing the puppy’s nose before Hubby’s…whoops! ๐

๐ Thanks, Casey! I am enjoying NaPoWriMo, but this month is a killer time-wise. I think I am going to have to seriously carve out some writing time . . . and not between midnight and one (as is my usual pattern). Stay tuned. I hope you are finding that personal time!

Working on it…although it’s a bit difficult since this is our spring break…the kids are home ALL DAY LONG… ๐

Understand! Praying for you. ๐ Loved the closet piece! ๐
