Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: A blank life: 14 of 28

Life Drizzles On!The day is long and dreary.Outside the rain drips on.Right now I can't see clearlywhere all my words have gone.My poetry's sad and stilted.A childish, pouting, wail.My world is over tilted.My colours, drear and pale.No brilliant ideas come to mind,no funny tales to tell.No rhythm in my words to find,my misery...

A Working WomanA housewife's work is never done,I've often heard it said.She's still about and on the runwhile everyone's in bed.No 9 to 5, she works all hoursto get the housework done.It isn't with some super powers,she rises with the sun.And when the rest are tucked in bed,still she labours on.Till at last she rests her hea...
