Flipped Serendipity

finding peace

I’m Here

When the sun breaks the dawn
When the rooster first crows

When morning traffic starts to congest
When horns fill the urban theatre

When screens boot up
When clicks and clacks spit out words

When the sun stands tip toe
When the lunch rush clamor a riot

When orange paints the sky
When office hours tick tock to an end

When the night falls
When happy hour dances to music

When the bed beckons
When the clock sings its lullaby

When silence fills the void
When the darkness echoes over

Day Fourteen Prompt: to write a poem of at least ten lines in which each line begins with the same word (e.g.,“Because,” “Forget,” “Not,” “If”). This technique of beginning multiple lines with the same word or phrase is called anaphora, and has long been used to give poems a driving rhythm and/or a sense of puzzlebox mystery.
