I feel exactly the same way about him.

Cloudscome – I too love being the first person up, tootling around in my pjs with a doggy shadow right behind me.

Tadmack – vitamins and coffee is the way I start my day every day (with breakfast too Mom – I swear!)

Kelly – don’t worry, I told the kids that not all odes are smelly :)

I count it blessing when I am the first one up. And how sweet to spend May with kids like your students!

in the early morning”

Oh my. How wonderful is that image??

I hope you told the student that not all odes smell bad.

Like all of the best poems, this touches on so much of what I feel.

I call myself a morning person, but I need a whole lot of coffee to get myself moving and “buzzing”…

I love Billy Collins.
