Poem: Alone Time

Alone Time

When I have
time alone
i know
what i will do
i’ll ride
my bicycle
and write
something new

i’ll catch up
on my housework
i’ll organize my files
i’ll submit
several stories
and research
and try out
my new pen
i’ll try
to sketch
some flowers
or maybe
something new

but first
i think
i’ll watch
a film
only i
want to see
i’ll sleep in
and take my time
and…
oh look-

Time’s up.

    How quickly we fritter away that free time that is supposed to catch us up on everything. I can really relate to this.
