Friday Flash: Poem of the Damned

Flashes are read.

Poems are, too.

Friday is here,

so this is for you.

-

School books I’ve read

as hours flew.

My son went to bed

late – nothing new.

-

Harried, I said,

“I’ve got MORE things to do!”

so I took to my bed

with my laptop and brew.

-

My blog needed fed,

but I had nothing new

ready to post. So I said

(for lack of a more descriptive word that fits appropriately in the

‘a’ part of the abab rhyme scheme) that I’m too damned tired to be bothered to

rhyme anymore.

-

*My apologies for the short and silly post, but the first week of school this year has kicked my butt. So I hope you forgive enjoyed this little bit of meta.

    Oh boy do I know the feeling Catherine! And it doesn’t help when both your teenagers are active and have one practice or another every single day…
    You showed that mentality quite well here.
