I've not had a free moment to write new poetry, and won't for a couple of more weeks - so at deVine's request, I'm posting a few from my archives... My solitude did beckon me My EmptiNesst, with fancyfree No hustle bustle would I heed. I'd rise each morn and there I'd be ~ Kicked back to write prolificly. I never thought of days really So far estranged from privacy. This morn the cat nudged hungrily "You're not my cat ~ Now let me sleep!" Was she not temporary? Computer on, email to see Then IM friends hail cheerily While sitting back with my coffee My neighbor chats, "Let's have some tea" The phone starts ringing busily The first to call, of course, Stacie Her sister's next, "Hello, Sandy!" They want to know when I will be Available for what they need. I call my mom diligently Then off to teach geometry, Followed by some history. While at the high school stop to see The principal who says, "Nancy, This summer you'll teach poetry." Off to the bank to get money The grocery store for food indeed The munchkins come, cute blonde kids three. The phone still rings ~ "Hello, Bernie." Another call, sister Shirley ~ Cassandra's outside in a tree "Come on the trampoline, Nani!" Jake just asks persistently To play computer games with me. Garrett's in the nursery Before I know my day's complete When can I write some poetry? So much for insularity. If ever I want privacy, Away from home I'll have to flee... Now, add to that - teach summer school, tutor kids privately, pack to move, attend to family stuff.........  |
