April PAD (Poem-a-Day) Challenge: Day 23 "A Valediction Forbidding Morning"

I’ve finally caught up! I hope I can stay on pace for the final week of April PAD. Today’s prompt is “write a morning poem. The poem can be about the morning, take place during the morning, or however you want to work the morning in.”

Why not have a little fun with Donne? Maybe I’ll spend more time with this rough parody later to make it a bit more sophisticated.

“A Valediction Forbidding Morning”

Ask not for whom the alarm clock tolls,
it tolls for thee. Morning has not been forbade
and again approaches swiftly like a flea
intent to steal our blood, mixing it into one.
Batter my heart with caffeine, so none will die.
