This is a simple rhymed poem. I wrote it without meter structure.
Routine
The repeat of routine,
such mechanics, obscene
Wake up and move about
without thought, no doubt
Simple chores we inherit
take for granted, zero merit
These ruts can be great,
sometimes leading to hate.
But routine is a must.
Quit complaining—learn to adjust.
Routine and
chores,
Bea
A great poem, and also a great reminder that I need to quit complaining and put more writing into my daily routine.
ReplyDeleteI agree about putting more writing into my daily routine.
DeleteI just came from "What Do I Know?' I really enjoyed your poems. It hit a cord with me especially today... LOL, :-), Susan Cooper
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Susan. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
DeleteHi, routine is great and terrible too. It gives us order. Love your poem. By the way, I have nominated you for a Liebster Award. Will send more info shortly. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Mary, Thanks for the comment and nomination. I appreciate it.
DeleteI feel lately that I have been slave to routines. This poem does well to reflect the box I paint myself into.
ReplyDeleteReally? I thought you've been busy as grandpa. :)
DeleteI like the no nonsense tone that you've tempered with a bit of humor.
ReplyDeleteSometimes routine feels like nonsense. :)
