the morning muse

Wake-Up Call

Morning is supposed to be the best time to exercise the body, so why not the mind? I decided to write a poem every day for a month, the only constraint being that it had to fit on a Post-it note. I kept a pad on my bedside table, riffed off a poem when I woke up every morning and stuck it on the wall by my bed. At the end of the month, I peeled them off and threw them away.
