Home Time

Home Time
Form: Raven’s Rovi Sonnet 54

As the kids came in from a long school day
They threw their bags onto its smooth pine top
And grabbing a bite before time to play
As I cook the dinner, something and mash
While on the table the school bags must wait
And homework books to be done in a dash
Unless it was Friday chips on the plate
That algebra giving us all a rash
And between mouthfuls make it go away
Washing up as the new stories are read
Some TV time before it gets too late
Time to relax, let go a bit and stop
They drift to sleep to the dreams in their head
With the kiss good night all tucked into bed

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry.
