On Second Thought

Day 21 April P-A-D prompt:  Second Thoughts



Alarm is set for half-past five,
Busy day ahead.
First a walk,
A brisk 5K,
Back again,
Quick shower then
Coffee, eggs, and fruit
For fuel,
Throw a load of laundry in,
Answer email
Check new prompts,
Write a masterpiece or two,
Scribble a sestina...


 
Or

Should I just sleep in?

  1. LOL - I often have that second thought...like, every five minutes after I've hit "snooze"!

    Enjoyed the poem!

  2. Gloria, the temptation is so great. Sometimes the spirit is willing, but... ! Liked this take. Amy

  3. I'm a morning person. Sleeping in just doesn't happen in my world! Good for your doing a 5k!

  4. The ability to do a 5K is so far in my past, I can only envy you that. I also am a morning person, so am up, but that doesn't mean I don't crawl back in when I have finished what I feel is necessary, lol. Nice take on the second thought subject,

  6. Thank you all, but I must add a disclaimer..lol, this is pure fiction! I am also an early riser, though early is now about 7:00 rather than the 5:30 before I retired. Also, I plan to 'walk' a 5K at the end of May but don't do so regularly!!! Most mornings find me in front of my computer sipping my coffee. :)
    Again, thank you so much for taking the time to stop by, read, and comment. I really appreciate it!

  11. I'm with you. Most mornings I am in the front of my computer sipping coffee. I do walk later in the day, but enjoy the early morning with poetry! Wonderful sestina though. Truly made me smile!
