Comeback.

Alarm starts beeping,
flight of fantasy cut short,
return to routine.
********************************
Sandals back in vogue,
winter boots beat a retreat,
spring in step returns.

This post is shared with  Haikuhorizons and this week's prompt is RETURN

    i love the first one ! its a daily thing,,,the call of unavoidable normal routines and our longingness for flights of fantasies where we write at our heart's content !

      Thanks Milan, Even though we know our flight will be cut short, we can't stop dreaming, that's the beauty of life :)

      Thanks Shilpa. I set my alarm 15 minutes earlier than my scheduled wake up so that the snooze doesn't make me late :P

    I hate alarm clocks. They disturb my sleep. Unfortunately, without any alarm clock, I am wide awake at 5 am on Saturdays and Sundays.

      A built-in alarm clock huh, now that can be a double-edged sword SG.

    Reshma, morning alarm is really "alarming". You get up with a jolt.. Very well written haiku.

    Beautiful,Reshma. Are you a Mallu? If so would you read my Mal. verse 'maaluvin muttaththe maavu'.If non-keralite forget it.

      Glad you liked it Sarala. No, I can only differentiate Tamil from Malayalam when I hear them. Would enjoy reading a translation of the post if you can put it up for non-keralites like me :)

    The love and hate relationship with alarm will continue for ever, just like the relationship between husband and wife, we hate also and love also both at the same time. Life with out a alarm clock is
    impossible.
