Early Riser

Early Riser

A Poem by Robert
"

Crazy thoughts from an old head.

"
Arose from my bed quite early;
Four o'clock to be precise.
Turned on the sprinklers to 
Water the garden, now there
Are just myself, and computer,
Oh Jolly Hockey Sticks how nice.

No-one to disturb me this lovely
Early morn. Seems to make all
Things worth while in the quiet
Of the dawn, with the ticking of 
The clock to keep me company;
And the song of the Magpies call.

Sun shines though my window,
About three fingers from it's bed.
There is a lot to be said for sizing
Early instead of a pillowed head.
For life is far to precious to languish;
Tomorrow I might wake up dead.

Author's Note

Robert
P.s I have read many of your poems and they are far beyond my humble scope.
So what you read is what you get in my works, I will just sit back and hope.

I really like the formatting and wording in this; it has it's very own unique rhythm and rhyme. I had to read it over a couple times to fully appreciate what you've done. The first two lines of the second stanza are my favorite and I just love the way they go together. I look forward to reading more!
