I write every day... something. I try to write first thing in the morning. Of course, sometimes other things take over. Sometimes I don*t get to write until late evening, right before bed. Sometimes, I admit, I write to get the writing out of the way. This is in part why I call these things reflections and not poems. Poems take work and editing, I think. Reflections are simply that: reflections.
Every morning I wake up
New.
First thing I write
The morning reflection.
Most often
If I write it later
Other things take over.
Still
Even when other things
Take over
Before I can write,
Then I write an afternoon
Reflection.
Sometimes I have to wait
Until right before bed,
A different reflection
Than I would write in the morning
Certainly.
I title it
An evening reflection.
Still
Even when the day
Has been taken over completely
I write something
Call it
A little something
Before bed
A bit like a cup of herbal tea
To cap off the day.
