I was snoozing like a child
Picking up berries wild
I then turned to my side
Letting slumber take a slide
Now half asleep and groggy
It appeared all too foggy
Yet I saw him standing there
Sir Rooster, in mid-air
A broken crown he wore
No no! This was no lore
I rubbed my eyes and gawked
Right past me, he had walked
How he made it to my window
Till now, I do not know
I thought it was a dream
And choked back on my scream
He strutted, but didn’t crow
Way east, sun did not glow
I guessed it still ain’t dawn
Snuggled and gave a yawn
I soon forgot the bird
It was now but just a word
I was back in wonder space
Weaving reveries in lace…

How I write, is mine...How you read, is yours 
Now that would be a site to wake up to…ah some my neighbors used to have a rooster and during the summer when the windows were open he would greet each day before the sun came up…I suspect that was his downfall.;-)
hehehehhe..”downfall” eh, Charles?? I liked that bit… I can’t even imagine having to lose one’s sleep due to a rooster’s alarm every morning! Grrrrr ….
But then again, I (and my sleep) usually manage to stay unaffected by these trivialities 🙂
Thanks for commenting here, my friend.. It’s always a pleasure reading your insights and thoughts… thanks you!!! xoxox
Sleepyhead! That rooster is going to see sunrise very soon. Like what you did with the photo.
hahahha… sleepyhead I am, Helen! 🙂 I bet that rooster would be seeing “sunset” very soon 😉
Glad you enjoyed this light piece, girl…
Have a fun week ahead!
spooky dream of a crazy eyed rooster
Isn’t that horrible!!!! 😉 But as long as he doesn’t bother waking me up in the morning, I am good… 🙂
Enjoy a superb week ahead, Rene..
I’ll tell you what, if I woke up to a rooster in my space he’d be dinner for breakfast. Nice job!
Mmmm…. a chickeny dinner… sounds yummy to me too! Next time I know whose door to knock when a rooster comes to my window! 😉
Thanks for the delicious comment and invite, Kristen!!
Have a great week ahead!
Very cute. Surely it has to be a dream!
Mine is here. http://razzamadazzle.wordpress.com/2010/11/04/magpie-tales-39/
hahaha… for this poem, it was just fiction, Teresa… I am glad you enjoyed it though! 🙂
Thanks for leaving a comment here, dear…
Good make of rhyme. Your poems are skillfully manoeuvered towards maintaining it. Brilliant!
Woohoo!! Thank you so much, Hank… gee, that’s a HUGE compliment!! I am flattered!! Thanks once again!!!
I am super excited that you enjoyed this one too..
That is one wicked-looking bird! Surprised your I-character could go back to sleep. 😉
Love Weaving reveries in lace…
haha… if my I-character was the real me, it would have never even woken up in the first place!! 🙂
Glad you enjoyed the read, Ruth….
Let the fun time roll…. hugs..
I loved this, very special to me as I am plagued by a neighborhood rooster daily 🙂
Oh..really??? YIKES!! That must suck! Okay, I am not being too helpful with words, am I? 🙂
Well, I hope you are relieved of its company soon enough, Cindy…
But I am super happy you liked this poem!! Thankooooo, my dear!
Didn’t happen to say something, like “nevermore” did he?
LOL… what do you think, Lane??! 😉 Just to let you know, he sure didn’t bother me again 🙂
Have a great week, my friend..
This poem has such an old-worldy feel to it…love it so. Looking forward to reading more of your great writing Kavita – keep it coming lady!! 😉 xx
LOL… glad you mentioned that old-word feel, Chloe… Cuz roosters, to me, have always belonged to another era! 🙂
Love ya loads, sweetie!!!
wonderful……
Thank you, Dakshima.. 🙂
LOVE LOVE LOVE this…
“I was back in wonder space
Weaving reveries in lace…”
wonder space is the best description of dreamland ever…
Gee..thank you for your sweet words here, Evelyn! I hope you get to travel to wonderspace often enough 🙂
Enjoy a great week ahead!
I believe that bird would have been dinner at my house! 🙂 Such an oddity …was it all a dream? Beautiful poem non the less… and such an ugly rooster in your picture …it adds to the story so well. Crazy goodness!
hahahhahah… I believe you too, 2Z!!! Trust me, I DO NOT dream of roosters! 🙂 And I don’t get to see them anywhere near my 23rd floor apartment either! This was a “cooked up” story that spurred on seeing that picture prompt at Magpie Tales! I am glad you enjoyed the poem so much, my friend!! I am still laughing at your comment! Thanks once again!! You really made my day! 😀
Have a wonderful week yourself!
i thought you are still on vacation! brilliant poem kavita.
Happy deepawali! May light, happiness and wealth shower down on your world and stay.
Vacation’s over, Trisha! 🙂 I am now on catch-up mode!
Glad you enjoyed this fun poem, sweetie… and thank you for the lovely Diwali wishes! Hope you had a great Diwali yourself!
Brilliant piece Kavita, one of your best by far. I really love the flow and rhyme scheme. Were you by any chance inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven”? It made me think of that, and that particular poem is one of my all time favorites. You’re very talented 🙂
Happy diwali!
Woohoo, girl!!! Thanks! I certainly am flattered!
And no, I haven’t read “The Raven”. I am not much into reading fine works by famous old poets.. I dunno how and why… strange! 🙂
But the fact that this poem reminded you of a great poet’s work (which you like so very much), that by itself was a HUGE compliment! Thankooooz!
By the way, my hubby gifted me a new lens: a 75-300!! And I AM LOVIN’ it!!! But boooyyyy…it is heavy!! 🙂
Nope. This particular rooster crows no more. Fun piece, Kavita!
Tsk tsk tsk… I feel kinda bad for him, Willow! 😉
Glad you enjoyed this light read, my friend…
Take care… xoxoox
Oh, I like this!!
heheh…thank you so much, Susan!! 🙂
xoxox
reveries of lace…sounds like some nice dreams you settled back to…durn rooster for interupting..smiles.
heheheh… you got it right, Bri! That rooster wasn’t too successful in interrupting me… How dare he anyway! 😉
Glad you liked this fun read, my dear friend…
Have a great weekend!
like a fairy tale it sounds nice… Cheers!!!
Absolutely a fairy tale, W! Cuz I DO NOT get awakened by imaginary (or real) roosters for sure! 🙂
love your imagination here.
well done.
I cooked up one as well.
Happy Magpie Writing.
u rock.
hehehhe…thanks, Ji!! Glad you enjoyed this light read…
Apparently, alarm clocks (and roosters) have no effect on me whatsoever!! 😉
Really cool poem. Reminds me of the nights where you are between sleep and awake and you do not know which is happening. I like the ending the most though 🙂
You nailed it, Mark!!! I think I can count on you to get exactly what I had in mind while writing a particular poem! Although this piece was complete fiction, that in-between state was what inspired me!
Glad you enjoyed the poem, M… And THANK YOU for understanding it the way I saw it myself!
YOU ROCK!!!!!
A lovely litte fairy story.
I don’t know about roosters, but I often sleep through alarms. I have to put on more than one and even then ???? 🙂
Great Magpie. Thanks for the fun.
Same here, Jamie! I am very well known for sleeping thru’ alarms!! Hubby and parents can vouch for it!! 🙂
It’s good you enjoyed this light read… 🙂
Boy I am happy to have some time to sneak onto your blog and catch up on some of your excellent poetry, Kavita.
heheh.. you are too kind, bpbg!! Thank you for your sweet words, my dear… I am happy you could make time for me.. it’s a pleasure to have you here!
I sure hope to visit your blog REAL SOON!
Kavita i totally love this poem….:-)
Hurraaaayy!! Thank you so much, Carrie!! You made me feel eally good today with your comment… thankoooo… xoxoxo
still time to sleep… what a wonderful feeling you captured. also… the surprise of waking and seeing this creature. ummm, i can even sense the groggy wonder… nicely written!
the horrific surprise.. no? But then if it really were me, then I wouldn’t even have woken up to see this rooster flit around… heheh
Glad you enjoyed this light read, Audrey.. I really appreciate your kind and sweet words here…
Much love to you, my friend.. xoxo
heh heh………I wished all roosters stuck to dreamland! Fun ‘pie!
You can say that again, Helen! These roosters had better keep themselves restricted to dreamland (ugghhh)! 😉
Glad you enjoyed this fun piece, girl… xooxoxoxo
haha! I love this! Sometimes just need another ten minutes 😉
hahahah… you said it, Tekia!! Sometimes, you just NEED that extra time… 🙂
Glad you enjoyed this fun li’l piece, sweetie.. thankooo!!! xoxox
