The alarm goes off
And the hand reaches blindly
Mission accomplished
The enemy now silenced
Temporary solution

LOL! I just read Ritu’s senryu! I love how everyone is finding synonyms that work for them. Our poems are so much more expressive this way. ❤

It is a challenge but fun so far. 🙂

What I like is that everyone’s poetry isn’t the same anymore. The synonyms cause a shift in meaning. 😀

I used to set the alarm for two hours before I wanted to really get up, but that didn’t work either So, I simply reply on Spirit to waken me and haven’t used an alarm in nearly 3 decades

I mostly wake up on time or way before too. But I don’t dare to turn it off… at times I would have been too late for work… lol!
