Finishing out this week of poetry! (It wasn’t intentional. I guess I was just feeling poetic. Not mad about, it, though.) Here’s a naani poem for the June poetry challenge over at Fake Flamenco:
Staying up to greet the dawn,
to welcome the new day –
once a pleasure,
now a curse.
As with many of these challenges, I’ve never tried this poetry type before, and it was a lot of fun! I like learning different ways to put words together and create music out of sound and silence. 😊 If you want to give it a go, as well, I think you should!
It’s always good to try new things, right?

Absolutely! Couldn’t agree more.

Thanks for your naani! I remember well the first night I stayed up past dawn. I was elated. How the game changes with time!

I love this, even though I don’t agree with you. Dawn’s a blessing – I can get up at last, after failing to sleep all that much 😉
