Awoke 2
As alarm shrieked, 4
Temptation wins the weak. 6
Sleepyhead, snuggles back in bed, 8
Defeat? 2

LOL I feel like that now, nor sure if Ir's the weather, just feel so tired and shouldn't be.

Great job

regards
Tia

Very good. So many are tempted to go back to bed or just stay there. That doesn't happen to me too often. I rise early even on my days off. But I do feel for those who struggle with it.

Nice Cinquain poem with the right syllable count. Blessings in the contest. LaVonne

That kind of sounds like me. I don't know how many times I've hit the snooze control when the alarm clock rings. Do I show that clock who's boss or is it the other way around?

This is a cute little wake up call. Nicely done. The count is perfect. I like the whimsical picture you chose to complement your words. Alarmed is a fantastic title. Temptation....yes! Stay in bed. lol

Very clever chinquapin about the stresses of the morning which, of course starts with the alarm clock. Something we can all relate to! I like the cliff-hanger last word.

Brilliant! I did this, this morning! Something most people can relate to, described in a fun and entertaining manner. The picture accompanying this piece is very appropriate, too.

When one is young and must work, using an alarm to wake and sleep is a weakness, but when one gets old and retired and don't need to work, an alarm is not needed for sleeping is a comfort earned over a lifetime of working. Like this and thought it quite different. God bless and good luck in the contest.

I suspect that a lot of people can identify with turning off the alarm and sleeping in. This is a temptation many face almost daily, particularly if they were late to bed. This piece is short and concise, and its message is clear. This should be a strong entry. Good luck!
