Much too early in the morning: unexpected joy.

The return of poetry, it must be a sign of recovery.
I started writing poetry when I was 6. But when I was in the depth of Postpartum Depression, I would have snarled at you if you even mentioned the possibility I’d write a poem. And today this showed up. With the help of my 7 year old!

The return of poetry also demonstrates that despite the early rise, going to bed early (see the the early-to-bed experiment from my LOVEratory)  is doing what it’s supposed to. If I’d gone to bed at midnight yesterday, I’d be totally unavailable for this snuggly goodness. All I’d be thinking and feeling would have been the excruciating tiredness of exhaustion and resentment that the youngest love of my life is an early bird (and all too often a night-howler). Since I got about 6.5 hours of sleep last night (which is less than ideal, but function-able) I was able to experience the joy of it.

So here we go:

Snuggles, snuggles,
hugs and cuddles
a family in the big bed

We burrow in tunnels,
in caves, forts, and puddles
blankets pulled over our heads

Legs, limbs, two brothers
entwined with  mother and father
why get up when there’s love to be had?

Lots of raspberry kisses
Some knee-nose near-misses
and we laugh until some tears are shed

Sweet moments—so fleeting
Would you rather be sleeping
when your eyelids are heavy as lead?

All too soon they won’t bother
with mother and father
This is so very true, and too sad

Of course I’d much rather
stay with brothers and father
than be doing the laundry instead

Yes, there is work to be done
but in here—so much fun
much too early this morning in bed

Knee-nose near-misses, hee hee…
Clearly we’ve been hanging out with Dr. Seuss.
Oh, the thinks you can think…

Comment magic:
Sharing a poem always includes a mix of pride and angst. Pride that I can even do this (you know, make sense in rhyme and all), and angst about how this will touch you. I want it to touch you. My poems are like my babies, there’s a big part of me that wants  everybody to be smitten with them like I am. So, if you hate this poem, please spare me the judgement. I’d rather not feel the hurt.
If you love it, however, would you please let me know by writing a comment below? I’d love to know if anything here tugged your heart-strings or made your lips curl into a smile. Many thanks.
Hugs and snuggles all around,
Yael.
