A poetic version of my day... with so many words that are forbidden.
September 15 Prompt

A Day In My Life


A Droning Beckons
Dragging me from slumber,
Bleary eyed
I stagger
To the bathroom
Forcing myself to revive;
To face this day.
I stare into my face
And chuckle
At the lines
That indent my cheek.
Now coffee is needed
It propels me to the kitchen;
Getting my jolt of caffeine
To goose my system.
Dressed in baggy sweats
I venture to my laptop
And pry the lid open.
I slip into my fictional world
And it bubbles up to greet me.
And I capture it,
Getting it down,
And saving it.
I will not be at fault
If the system goes down;
Files will not be lost
To cyber space.
When I need sustenance
I stop
And amble into the kitchen
When the clock chimes four
I force myself
To comply with tradition
And prepare a meal
My stubborn husband insists upon.
Evening stretches out
Long and uneventful.
Soon darkness falls
And with it, my eyes dim
I drag myself up
To waiting covers.
Blankets envelop me
And before long
darkness takes me
Into a world of dreams.
Until tomorrow, my friends.
