Morning Musings

Morning Musings
by Andrene Bonner

Wicked red-headed rooster
Conspiring to wake me
From this blissful daybreak
Of pure forbidden love.

Go to yonder meddlesome
Wake you that conscience
Dulled by its belligerence
Prolong this idyllic morn.

Why this spiteful awakening
Of lovers who have yearned
For quiet contemplation
Among these speckled violets
 
That give these Blue Mountains
Their fragrance sweet when
Trade winds rukumbine a wicked
Rubadub among the dactylon and buttercups.   

Your crowing hurts the ears
Where soft kisses linger
And warm bodies still afire
From natures melodious Euphonia.

Leave us o cruel yard bird
Find you another coop
Where hens await your mating
And I courtly love embrace.
