Amber Morning Light
Abecedarian reflecting a common daily struggle.
amber light
breaks through
clouds overhead
dawn's calling
Everything still
Fresh beginning
Good morning
Hello sunshine
intimate moments
Juxtaposed minutes
Life calls
Mapped-out day
Need coffee
Open door
Push yourself
Quit procrastinating
Ready or not
Society, here I come
Today's the day
Unless it's not
Varying degrees of confidence
Wavering esteem
X-ray vision
yields
zeal

The Devil's Cut
“Comrade, finally you’re awake.” The voice was smooth, sensual. A flickering incandescent bar was all that lit the white, sterile room. All Vladimir remembered was everything going black. He tried to move his arms and found them strapped to the gurney.

Oooh, the ending is great, a more motivational end than I was anticipating, given what came before and all the procrastinating. I relate so hard to this! "Society, here I come Today's the day Unless it's not Varying degrees of confidence Wavering esteem" The unending struggle. I really like this one, Paul! I think "Are you serious?" is my favorite because of the sharpness and the flow; this one has a very different flow, more stilted, but that of course makes sense because of the struggle to get up and get going. It's quite stream of consciousness and takes a couple readings to see all the emotions come through. Very well done!
Wonderful. Sure sounds like you're ready.
Thanks for the reminder not to procrastinate!
Firstly, the picture is phenomenal. I love it. Secondly, the poem is also phenomenal. "Juxtaposed minutes" is an awesome phrase/ line. "Ready or not Society, here I come" That was my other favourite part, I can't explain exactly why I like it so much. You have a way of making rules/ restrictions not even noticeable because your writing flows so easily. Also, forgot to say on If You Know, You Know, but that cover image was also awesome!
Loved this Paul! Good luck to you!!❤️
I couldn't help but notice that a, b, c, d and i aren't capitalised. Was that on purpose? Are you trying to send a secret message? Lol. Loved your Abecedarian!
Nicely motivated, Paul.
Paul, you nailed every day of my life. Love this one.
Very uplifting and sunny. I really enjoyed the story and love the cover pic.
I love this, that positivity, the little waver, the ploughing on - feels so you.
Nicely done, sir! Here's to positivity!
today's the day...unless it's not...love this line!
Go get 'em! I love this, the short punchy lines fit the theme so well. Smashing entry.
Excellent! Really well done!
