Early morning
Cranes its head over the wall of the world
Looking for me, but
I am still
Pillow blind within the
Soft
Embrace of night

Simply lovely portrait of a gentle moment. Has the feel of a haiku.

I love the visual of morning craving its head over the wall. Simply wonderful. Congrats on the TS.
I wish I was pillow blind most days, instead I think I'm the one peeking over the edge anymore. Wonderful word choices :)
I like the way you've personified early morning, like a friend coming to see if you can play. Or a nosey neighbour.
Beautiful! 😍
The poem captures the serene moment of morning beautifully. It's a reflection on the stillness before embracing the day.
You've nailed the brief and conjured a sympathetic persona at once. Nice work!
