“Time to Rise” by Robert Louis Stevenson [w/ Audio]

A birdie with a yellow bill
Hopped upon the window sill,
Cocked his shining eye and said:
"Ain't you 'shamed, you sleepy-head?"

White-Out [Free Verse]

snow falls
 all night long,
 silently piling.

i awaken
 to a place
unrecognizable
 as the one
in which i took to slumber:

the world's detail erased...
 temporarily.
