UP in the MORNING, DOWN with the SUN

Or My Day

J.C. JORDAN
My day is never done

Up in the morning

Down with the Sun.

Dress for work

Run out the door

Take train to work

I'm late once more

My day is never done

Up in the morning

Down with the Sun.

Arrive back home

Cook the meal

Get dishes done

Take dog for a run

My day is never done

Up in the morning

Down with the Sun.

Put computer on

Read AC articles

Try to write

But my eyes close tight

My day is never done

Up in the morning

Down with the Sun.

The alarm goes off

Dress for work

Here I go

All over again.

My day is never done

Up in the morning

Down with the Sun.

    Like the rhythm in your poem, the cycles of life come up in the morning, go down with the sun and continue day after day, week after week... Great poem.

    I love the rhythm of this poem! Very fun, despite the subject matter, which can be exhausting!

    Good thing you don't work nights... or the poem would need to be read backwards!
