5:30 Pm

The essence of being a career woman

Little did I know time had passed

I came in the wee hours 

Check my desk and revised

Decided to rearrange the papers

And set up for today's work

"Good morning" The grudged cleaner said

She drop her broom and mob

Ready to face the scattered brain

movements of the day like rain

To, fro, back, and forth

Swivel and turns, even chairs that run

Both smiling and frowning clients

Ready to get a smack at you

"Yes, Sir" said I to Both boss and none

Daydreaming of home sweet home

Only to see that I have but none

To blame if by 5:30 pm

None of my job is done

Forgive me dear lover

Forgive dear friends

Mostly dearly think I my children

They all foremost do bear

Happy Reading!

Remember when you told me you don't want to be involved with drama or deal with me in any way? So what's up with leaving the follow comment on my work about 15 minutes ago? "@Debbie, please read his name. You are talking with a living corpse without home training and respect. Ignore him. he doesn't know anything... leave him to keep blabbing."

If you say you are going to do something, stick to it. You decide the level of interaction we have. Stay away from my poems and comments with your bullshit and you won't have to hear a single word from me.

The content is indeed worth learning. Well crafted.

Thank you, Onyia. Thanks for stopping by.

Indeed even with a career the children's needs still lurk like an omen above all else. Nicely put. One typo line 7 'broom and mop'

okay, John. I appreciate. I will edit the work. Thank you.

[A Lonely Larke]

An all too familiar story, told in a very powerful and moving way.

This is a brilliant piece.
