Wash-day (Day 76 of 100 -- Poetry challenge)
There is danger lurking ahead,
perhaps you should not go any further.
I’ve seen your plate—
I would suggest cleaning it,
it seems wasteful of you.
Is there a timepiece in your pocket
that you must rush about like this?
So many places to be:
Everywhere but here.
Anywhere but here.
I think you should get-a-go on,
so that I can get to the cleaning
of your dishes and the eating of your
leftovers and the mopping of your tracks.
Yes, there is danger ahead!
All pieces are newly crafted and posted shortly after in adherence to the rules of the challenge. All the photos are mine unless otherwise stated.

I love the tension resting below the surface in your more 'domestic' poems - can really sense the strain and back-and-forth. 'I've seen your plate' for instance, one of those lines it would be easy to pass over, but is much more incisive than it first appears. Just a dinner plate, or a broader expectation from life? Well paced and composed as always :)
I love how you always see the layers as I try and not give it all away so easily. The surface is only a veneer. ;)
Thank you most kindly, it means a lot that you drop.
Bravo amica bella🎀
Big Love to you. <3
Thank you.
Ahh!! This was pretty good. I loved the part where you wrote "Is there a timepiece in your pocket
that you must rush about like this?"
Thank you. :)
