Poem by MwsR

Trappings

Trappings of the morning

Smell of fresh brewed coffee and toast

Songbirds singing with the rise of the sun

Linen spread back up over the pillows

Whines coming from your pet begging to be let out

A rumble in your tummy signaling the need for food

Clothes in display inside your closet

Picking an outfit to match your mood

Washing the night’s sleep from your face

Looking for that favorite shoe, all over the place

Passing hurriedly through your morning routine

Listening to the music of a familiar tune

Trappings of the morning…
