"Morning" by Billy Collins

"Morning" can be found on page 903 of the Norton.

Collins voices his favorite time of day through diction. Describing the rest of the day after morning as a "bother", I can picture the setting that he enjoys most. The "feet on the cold floor" and "buzzing around on espresso" makes me feel like I am in the scene. The fact that nothing occurs in the early morning radiates a calm and soothing vibe. The lack of situation in this setting makes it "the best". Also, the "atlas open on the rug" and the "typewriter waiting for the key of the head" shows that morning is a time of oppurtunity. Collins voices his enthusiasm for the morning with plethora of situational oppurtunities.
