[stylist] Poem: Inspiration

[Barbara Hammel]

It's probably just me, but all your stanzas are in the past tense except the 
"I know" one.

Subject: [stylist] Poem: Inspiration

Thinking of SPRING during a late winter snowfall in PA. Here's a poem 
looking ahead to Spring mornings.


"Inspiration Arrived Early This Morning"


I pressed

my feet deeper into plush blue blankets



I stretched

my resting body and flexed my heels



I looked

slowly at the neon green numbers on the bedside clock



I remembered

it's the first Sunday morning of Spring!



I know

the rising sun can never be seen through a window that faces west


I listened

to the morning bird songs drifting into the room



I thought

about giving a gift to my lover this morning



I decided

it must be a divine offering fit for the gods



I remembered

the shiny silver box in the next room



I  arose

to get the magical surprise I would bring to him this morning



I brought

the gift. It was pure inspiration



I lifted

his warm arm - pushed the cool slender box under it



He saw

the new box of Cracker Jacks tucked under his arm.
