Love in the Morning
By Annie Finch
Morning’s a new bird
stirring against me
out of a quiet nest,
coming to flight—
quick-changing,
slow-nodding,
breath-filling body,
life-holding,
waiting,
clean as clear water,
warmth-given,
fire-driven
kindling companion,
mystery and mountain,
dark-rooted,
earth-anchored.
About This Poem

The morning is the best time. Both parties are ready for action and it really is the best part of waking up...
Found it initially ironic that Annie "Finch" would be comparing love to a bird.
Ahhh....Love in the morning is certainly a wonderful sensation in which to engage.....but then love in the evening has its good sensations....and what about love in the afternoon?...not bad either!!!
I love love. And sex! HAHAHA
