morning tableau

morning tableau

it’s still dark outside
when the alarm screams
hit snooze, close my eyes
cat perched on my face
wet dog nose in my
ear, sleep ain’t happ’ning

The Tableau

The Tableau, a poetry form created by Emily Romano in October of 2008, consists of one or more verses, each having six lines. Each line should have five beats. There is no set rhyme scheme, although rhyme may be present. The title should contain the word tableau.

Since the dictionary states the word tableau means picture or representation, the poem should reflect this. A picture should come to mind as the poem is read.
