Question: Another poem for the end of a bizarre day!. Is it metrical and flowing!?
****
Don’t Get Excited
by TD Euwaite

I bent the hasp so
That the latch
Would stick when opened up

I put a handle
On my soap
So it could never drop

I’ve cleverly
Climbed up the tree
So I can see for miles

I built a fence
And stacked the wood
To be by myself

So, please do not
Sit on my stump
Or smell by shepherd’s pie

I’ve done these things
With scrutiny
For me, not you and I

I can relate very much to this oneWww@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, it flows well!.!.!.I like the end rhymes: end of stanza one with end of stanza two, and end of stanza three with end of the final stanza: "up/drop", "pie/i"!. This poem is about "me time", "me's own space" i assume!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Like an old movie visual - hand to forehead - the heroine says "I want to be alone"!. Don't blame you - you have prepared your place to handle future eventualities!. However - as much as we wish it - "no man is an island"!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I love it T!.D!. as it's great and it is good on the brain as i know how you feel as i too have had these days just like you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sounds like you are in need of some alone time!. I don't blame you as it has been a bizarre day for you!. Hope it all works out!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I built a fence
And stacked the wood
To be by myself
