Breaking Morning Silence Poem by Ravi Kopra

Early this morning
In my pad, all silence

The clock strikes six
Bong, bong, bong...

Ready for breakfast

The toaster pops up the toast
S..h..r..r..u..k just once. Stops

Between my teeth corn flakes
Crunch, crunch, crunch

Tea kettle whistles with steam
Twee, twee.twee...

My cat comes to my feet
Sits there and purrs, purrs

Ready to go to work

I close the swishing curtains
I move the squeaking chair

I turn the lock
It clicks, shut

It starts raining
Tap, tap on window panes

Sudden heavy rain
Water gurgles in drains

I get wet, get into the car
The engine starts: vharoom, vharoom, vharoom..
