For today's prompt, I want you to write a poem about either a specific routine or routines in general. Maybe something related to taking out the trash each week or washing the dishes every night--or something more bizarre (yet still a routine).
‘Thoughts that appear routinely … randomly arranged’
Every day …
Wonder if I droop
Who will make the soup?
Wonder why the sun shines
When my day whines
Wonder when my hibiscus will defy
My doggie’s playful digs and say, ‘Fie!’
Wonder about
Mind with useless thoughts crammed
Heart with useless emotions jammed
Wonder about stranded words
The wanderings of migratory birds
Wonder when I am with ‘poem a day’ obsessed
You think I am by some spirit possessed
Wonder if in poems I dabble
Will you groan, ‘Oh this babble!’
Wonder if what I write
You consider trite
Wonder if I lose serious focus
Will you say, ‘Stop this hocus-pocus!’
Wonder about past lives
About future lives
Wonder when this circle
of life and death will end
Should I ask God
a shy missive send?
Wonder when all go away,
Will you a little longer stay?
Wonder if I should be grumpy
When I feel dull and lumpy
Then I routinely pray
To begin with hope each day.
Don’t wonder, I say
How to live each day
Smiles count
The blessings mount
