Tuesday Poem - Dark, Dark Morning

Oh, it’s dark
Winter has come and has settled in
Alarm goes off but
Snuggle down in duvet
It’s dark
Too dark for mornings
Too dark for getting up
Too dark for doing
The sun fights the gloom
Grey is the new black
It’s everywhere
‘cos it’s dark
Too dark for smiling
Too dark for talking
Too dark for school runs
It’s a dark, dark morning
