For Day 5 of National Poetry Writing Month, the prompt is to write something aligned with “Twenty Little Poetry Projects,” originally developed by Jim Simmerman. Here goes (very loosely interpreted):

\\\* The sun parts the curtain of the night its light like a knife cutting through the crust of bleary eyes.

In its wake comes the sound of birds waking - a mellifluous melody and tribute to the muscle memory of the cycle of life and time.

A reminder that as day follows night you’ll get through.
