Just Another Day

As writers I'm sure we all have days like this. Just amusing and tacky for fun.

 

I woke up this morning

Promising to write,

But the kids were hungry

And I needed a bite.

So I put my pen away,

Until later in the day.

 

Then the cat got stuck

To my dismay,

The telephone rang,

The dog ran away,

And I chased him down

That big old clown.

 

Just when I thought

I'd have a some time

I distantly heard

The doorbell chime.

I asked myself when,

As I glanced at my pen.

 

Now it's time for bed,

I pick up my pen at last.

I can't think of anything good

So I scribble this dribble fast.

Perhaps a masterpiece I'll never write

But a poem you've got... goodnight!

Author's Note

This was done out of frustration, and I'm posting it just for fun.

This was indeed fun. And an author chasing her own tail.

Life is always calling. Interrupting our writing it seems. Many times, I am writing in my head as I work and do all the "must do" things of each day. Scribbling on any scrap of paper I can find throughout the day so the thoughts are not lost when I finally find that time to sit down and write. I think that perhaps this lack of time to write is one of the driving forces behind my insomnia. The night is when everyone else sleeps - leaving me alone with my thoughts and the time to get them down. Fun write out of your frustration!
