"The morning after"

A day..a regular day...

Tinkle bells & twiddle toes
All left at home sweet home,
Shirts and blazers, hair in place
Time to walk into the 'tune and tough up' zone..

A rush...not an adrenalin rush..

The world outside, chuckling and ridiculing me
Seems too far away,
It's only a window in between, a hands stretch
But it's like tomorrow looking at today..

A void..just a silent void..

I hear voices somewhere, floating around
Like droplets afloat in the air,
I pick on the keywords, fewer than my thoughts
And the rest pass through, unaware..

An interruption..a welcome interruption..

Buzz..buzz..what's that noise? somewhere close?
I search frantically, I'm half asleep,
Suddenly the scene transforms before my eyes
And Dawn is only beginning it's creep..

A pause..a sudden pause..

Never happened to me ever before, a surprise
It's like winning even before placing a bet,
I'm living, already lived, a few terrified minutes
Of a day...that isn't even here yet...

Sorry these are very pathetic attempts to imitate good alliterating poets..

I wasn't imitating anyone..i have always liked alliterations ...use 'em all the time...

anyway of course u all are allowed to enjoy certain posts and not the others:) so well hope the next one is better...

Allowed is a harsh verb to use there. As bloggers we hold no bar against opinions rather we welcome them. In fact one can hate all of our posts. Just a POI..;)

I din mean it in the sense that I allow to to enjoy them or not....it was rather more like people are allowed to have their opinions etc...and i obviously respect that...guess it came out wrong..

anyway each to its own...

Life, loathe it or ignore it, you can't like it.
