I woke up in the morning
An orange autumnal one you see,
The sleepy head I was,
Was basking in the shining sun..
so satisfied and happy.
As I sat there I felt my privilege,
No need to rush and jump.
Breathing in deeply
this brightness
That opposes the darkened seasonal slump.
I wondered what it would take to get out of bed and get myself ready ?
To go out and do my steps,
That I’d promised myself
The night before, yes I’d been positive
Not as unsteady.
The morning wished me to
Rise and shine,
The inner me was lazy,
The tiger that I'd called myself
The night before,
Was definitely unawakened and more like a sleepy kitty.
But I shall awake once I’ve drunk my tea,
And slip into my shoes that beckon..
The morning light is precious now,
We’re in a country where sunshine is rare and seldom.

This poem is from the prompt I found on wordcraft_collective where I needed to write a poem that has 'orange' and 'tiger' in it.
