Saturday Morning Poem by Eddie Roa

Saturday Morning

Rating: 5.0


My mind ambled in strange arbors
How faintly my heart throbs

Here she comes across the trellised walk
Afraid my beloved Circe will glare

Beneath the bowers there’s no place to hide
The yellow bells warn with trumpets mute

Must I face without looking her in the eye
For discomfited poise and limpid eyes betray

I have erred but not too much I think
Turn away, be brave some other day

nice write sir....i like the thoughts describe one's feeling in the wrong time(?) trying to escape from temptations... sincere and honest to one's feelings ...' I have erred but not too much I think Turn away, be brave some other day.' ....at least not too much.... being brave enough to find a way out... i find this last two lines touching yet amusing too....10+++++

Hi Maia, The poem is about a man after having a night out with the boys on a Friday. He hides in the garden to avoid a confrontation with the wife.

Not necessarily 'under the saya'. Just the usual morning after from a Friday night out with the boys.
