POEM STARTER

‘I never was an early riser.’

Write a poem that begins with this line.

Otherworldly

I never was an early riser. In fact most nights when I’m alone , I don’t sleep until I see the first rays of light Reflecting through my window. I never minded it much until I laid beside you, Curled up in the safety of your arms. Listening to your soft snores I was lulled to sleep, and just before you woke I found myself mesmerized. You see, I never was an early riser. But as I lay beside you and I look at your soft and peaceful expressions, I am in awe. I am transfixed into one single moment as I feel the rise and fall of your chest under me, my chin raised just enough to watch the thousands of dreams you have flickering across your face. I never was an early riser, but if it means I can relive this single moment every day then I will wake just before you.
