I like that my head is empty
in the morning,
an airy spacious room,
a palace of equanimity,
not filled with the barnstorming
clatter of morning TV
Empty

Yep, the pigeons on there do an awfully lot of squawking. 😂

I thought they were the ideal image of the clatter which was a misprint because originally it was ‘clutter’ but I thought ‘clatter’ is much more suitable 🙂

This is the perfect poem for me today. The kids had a snow day, so I got to stay home. In the morning, I sipped my coffee, and looking out my kitchen window at the silent falling snow: no TV and no noise. There is something special about that. Well done John!

the poem surprised me with its calm; I think it’s better for being brief —

Agree, its brevity almost feels like a nod to the quiet before the chaos of the day.

Quiet mornings are so blissful. I agree, John. I don’t watch TV anyways. 🙂

I don’t mind watching TV in the evening and occasionally on a Sunday afternoon but the mornings are quiet, meditative times —
