Afternoon folks! How are ye all doing today? 😁 This week we were encouraged by Linda Lee Lyberg over at d’Verse to wrote a Quadrille on the subject of morning using no more or less than 44 words (excluding the title). Below is my contribution! 👇👇
MOURNING OR MORNING!
Morning,
Two pronged fork
Highly anticipated
Deeply dreaded
Full of painful realities
And exciting possibilities
Coming at the end of
A long dreamless slumber
Or a fitful night’s sleep
Dressed in grey; gloomy skies
Or a bright; blinding sun
Beginning of a new day
If you’d like to participate in the prompt then you can access it through the following link:

Fitting title, and “two pronged fork” is a good way of putting it. Happy the night has ended but possible trepidation on what the day may bring.

A great morning poem Ken! Morning does offer both possibilities and this summer the dark mornings gave some relief to the scorching 90 + F temps in our neck of the woods!

It is now in the 80s and feeling wonderful! Cool weather will be an even greater relief!

Absolutely! 👍😁 A few weeks back, for 2 weeks in a row, we had temps here in Ireland over 30 degrees Celsius. Not sure what that translates to in Fahrenheit.
