So before we get into this post let us discuss a few things.
First of all, this post has been inspired by the Daily Post prompt today (that’s twice this week – CRAZY) so that’s what it is all about. I am supposed to write entirely in the present tense so let’s hope I’ve achieved that and haven’t made a boo boo. I’m a linguist (or so my degree says) so it’s going to suck if I fuck it up.
Second, I’m no poet. The last time I wrote a poem was about 25 years ago and it was probably better than this but I’ve had a crack at it because as soon as I read the prompt I thought POEM and who I am to resist the creative urgings of my soul. So here it is. Be kind. I hope it makes you smile.
I sit in this room
The coolest one in the house
The fan is on full speed
And I’m quiet as a mouse
For the child is now sleeping
This time is for me
I’m not sharing it with housework
It’s my time to be free
Free from the dishes
That sit in my sink
That intrude on my thoughts
While I sit here and think
And do everything I can
To write this lame arsed poem
And get Freshly Pressed
By the Freshly Pressed gnome
Are you there, can you hear me?
I’m trying to shout!
Come in, take some notice
Let me show you about.
Let me show you the NOW
In this house where I stay
Let me give you some money
I’m happy to pay
Oh no! It’s not bribery
It’s a gift, take my vow
A gift of my words
To bring you to my NOW
