Journal Nine- Morning

The poem, Morning by Billy Collins, is about the arthors morning routine. He goings into details about his morning and what he does in the mornings. You know that is what it has to be about because he goes, basically, step by step in what he did that particular morning. He talks about how it is "the best" (922) and that he might splash some water in his face.
You get the hint that he is going to write because he talks about the typewriter is on the floor and so is the dictionary. He anticipates the afternoon because he sees heavy clouds on the way.
I do not particularly like this poem because he is just talking about the morning and it has no real interesting meaning or anything that happens. I do like the use of discriptions where he allows you to almost see what he is talking about. He especially does it when he talks about "the lawn steaming like a horse" (923). He is also very discriptive in what he talks about he does that morning; a normal morning like any other.
