Question:Oh, so gingerly, I remove myself from the covers.
Feet hit the floor…OUCH!
Basso voice inquires:
Are you awake, up and ‘attem?
Murmphhhh.
Coffee made yet?
Mmmmmmmmm.
Think we can get the project completed today?
(Sigh, surely you jest, I can’t move!)
We did get much accomplished, did we not?
Mmmmmmm, (“we” did me in).
(Let’s see if I can find the kitchen.)
Mmmmmmm.
I’ll be right out! How ‘bout pancakes?
Mmmmmmmmm, (I’ll hit you with the spatula …don’t chance it.)
Why do you have that funny gate?
(Because my muscles have atrophied.)
Raring to go?
(When pigs…)
Here’s your coffee dear!

After reading all those scrivenings of adolescent angst, and attempts at PROFUNDITY it is a pleasure at last to deal with matters of global importance. Every day, the two most daunting tasks I face are falling asleep at night and waking up (before the crack of noon, I hope).
P.S. Does your husband know about this guy you're living with?

this is a great poem,
i get how you put the "in the moring" feel to it and i do love pancakes!! YUM!! lol,
but i likes how you ended your poem,
here's your coffee dear!,
was a great ending,

it give it a(n) 8/10!!


Have a great Friday (and weekend!!) :)

I'm still laughing!!!! Ah, love's in the air!!! Unfortunately, love will take a SPLAT over the pancakes!
The next is me being ultra serious:
You need to write a short story...yes, you certainly do. You have great character formation and dialogue down pat! A lightness and easy flow like Erma Bombeck!!!!
And, I'd love to read the first draft!!!!!!!

I LOVE THIS POEM!!!
the "sadurday morning" feel to it, the pancakes, ect....I love it!!
you are awsome!!
there are reasons why your a top contributer in poetry!!
YOUR SOOOOO AWSOME!!!
PERFECT 10/10!!!!

Many a murder would be committed if not for coffee.

I'm with Elysund, one of your other posters, you really need to write stories. You have abilities that scream for it, creating and defining characterizations, conversations, etc., WOW!!

You poems are so descriptive and filled with "slice-of-life" little moments in time that I just love. Please consider writing full stories, perhaps some of these poems of yours already fit together for a good start,
Excellent work.

Ah, feels like my muddled morning, although I have no one to offer me pancakes and coffee. Therefore, I hit myself with my own spatula. I love poetry like this, that highlights something everyday and that is experienced by all and makes it into a new, perhaps even fun, thing that energizes those who read.

Ha Ha!

Now, to the work of art...This is well constructed, with much care taken while measuring. You build it well, starting with your foundation.

Plumb and proper poem, I think. Well done. TD

This is very nice.......and this style is something unique...and i hope you could one day turn something of this kind into a modern classic...
