When i get bored
i don’t sweep my bedroom
either put away the living room
or sort the papers,
I simply write a poem.

When i get bored
i don’t wash the dishes
either clean the kitchen
or brush the grey carpet,
I simply write a poem.

So don’t be fussy or embarassed
if my house is such a mess,
when i get bored
i don’t clean my will,
I simply write poetry.

Hi yann, I would rather write than clean too but I can't really concentrate when the house is a mess so I have to clean and take care of business and then write.

OK, so we won't give you the Mr Clean award!
I enjoyed this, and can relate.
Let those dust-bunnies alone, they will still be there tomorrow.

Yann,

In the English language, the first person, singular personal pronoun "I" is always capitalized, wherever it appears.

That's a great idea, yann. Maybe hiring a housekeeper a to come in once a week would free you up to write and do other things.
I have a lady come in every other week just to help me with the heavy work.

A good one, dear Yann. When inspiration comes, at least we should immediately jot down a few words to develop later ... if there are impelling tasks waiting. It is nice to have a clean house/apartment no doubt, but sometimes there are creative priorities I would say.

Love,
Margherita

Than you Ida, i think i must first get out a lot of old things in an appropriate place... Then i think that the idea to hire someone is a good idea....Thanks for your precious comment....

hello margherita, i'm not proud and i think that you are totally right, when ideas come we  must abandon anything otherwise the idea is lost, it is what happened with this poem, i get the idea from my brother who visited me and criticqued the mess....I wanted with this poem  excuse myself for the mess...

when I get bored, I clean

maybe that's why I don't write as much as I once did

good poem!
