The Start Of The Day Poem by Paul Reed

We lay together
As grouse crouched in the heather
As crows argued in the trees outside
As the milk float's brakes were applied

We watched the light creep through the blinds
As the night released it's binds
As the gulls swept through the air
As the fox settled in his lair

We listened as the noisy replaced the hushed
As teeth were brushed
As horseshoes trampled the downs
As faces remembered their frowns
As the blackbird began his song
As the crowd became a throng

We fried eggs in a pan
As the day began
