Poetry: Take a break

ZONED OUT

Spring cleanup elicits a groan,
As our mother gives each a yard zone.
She passes out rakes,
Mid our belly-aches,
Then goes in to answer the phone.

Such chores are a yearly remake,
A dirty job, for pity's sake!
A Saturday gone
To fix up the lawn,
With garden work; gimme a break!

But all of us do what we must;
We stir up the leaves and the dust
To fill up each bag,
Or parents will nag,
And social lives will be a bust.

    The ideas just won't flow
    I'm getting writer's block
    Been sitting here a while
    Started

    Put your feet up,

    Breathe deeply in your chest,
