Five minutes before seven
Good morning angel
Here is some banana bread
With softened butter
I woke up early
Today is a special day
It is our next day
The birds sharp whispers
Lift you from your nights journey
Bring you back to me
What could this mountain
Clear, green, and cast in dawn’s light
Have in store this day
As I watch you wake
It does not matter right now
It’s a fine morning
The house smells of bread
And you and night and puppies
Coffee and whipped cream
Good morning angel
Here is some banana bread
With softened butter

These are all haikus? Wow. Generally I like a poem with a turn in it but when it comes to love poems I’m not so sure. This really sings its own buttery song.
Sounds like a delightful morning

It was a beautiful morning 🙂
Lol…yeah. haiku string.. the original title was 5 before 7:05……..five minutes before seven just felt softer
Beautiful writing Coleman:
The birds sharp whispers
Lift you from your nights journey
Bring you back to me.
And of course the rest of it.

What a sweet poem!
Love the way the list in the second to last stanza rolls off the tongue- great blend of image and sound.
“Today is a special day/It is our next day” Wow – I love that and now I want to recite it every morning. Thanks!
“Today is a special day
It is our next day”— Oh, this line!!
The whole poem is gorgeous. <3
A haiku sequence! Love it.
