I’ve joined a new monthly writing workshop, and I’m going to do my best to post something I write during it. Here’s a poem I put together tonight :)
What simple joy
To see my table filled up
(Something about an empty desk representing an empty mind…)
First a notebook
and of course a mug
(I can’t possibly bear expected to start working without a coffee)
About twenty minutes later, a plate enters the scene
complete with the eventual crumbs outside its perimeter
(I’ve definitely earned a snack)
Time for the laptop to make an appearance
As I shove my mug dangerously close to the edge
(I had to make space)
And who can forget the water bottle
decorated with faded stickers and dents
(All signs of love)
I won’t clean it off until tomorrow
or perhaps next week
(After all, my kitchen counter still has space for rent)
Happy almost Wednesday friends!
