POEM: Rude Awakening

This is my collab composition for the CPC Saturday Share poetry challenge. Angel Love’s key line was “As I slowly crept out of bed.”

RUDE AWAKENING


On a storm-tossed sea, aboard a pirate ship,
upon the clear blue sky, I bumped my head.
Unconscious until the ship had reached its slip,
my body and soul became consumed with dread;
and when I awoke, a beat my heart did skip:
ninety-nine monkeys were jumping on my bed!
Once awake, my mind began a new trip.
Fond memories of her lingered in my head.
Finding that all my senses had been fed,
I smiled and shrugged, and went back to bed!

A Bettie’s Ottava Rima (ten lines) by RGD

The poetic simeons who bounced a line: Angel Love (2), Jules (2).
