Tonight... The house is cleaned and I am headed to bed - Ahhh - perhaps stay up and enjoy it instead? The boys and my hubby are coming in late; I’m tired tonight, wonder if I can stay awake? No, the puppy and I, to dreamland will head… …then comes morning Your clothes lie on the floor, not in the hamper, The house is cold; who forgot the fireplace damper? What? No bathroom tissue paper on the roll? Who couldn’t change it before someone had to go? The pup left shredded tissues on the carpeted floor And pulled crumpled paper from the unlocked trash door. Clean the house! is screaming loudly at me once more! Bye! What’s that you ask, where am I headed afore? A vacation! My plane is flying to the shore!! ____________________________________________ Entry: April 12, 2017 Prompt: Pet peeve For: Dew Drop Inn Poetry Workshop Form: Cinquain, Septain & Couplet Syllabic Pattern: 12-11-12-11-12, etc. Rhyme Pattern: Approximates iambic hexameter Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.~~Robert Frost |
