Chaos from Order

Chaos from Order

The bedroom was so tidy,
Shoes all neatly stacked
Clothes hanging in the wardrobe,
Tho’ the rails were tightly packed

Mum  hoovered and she polished,
Whilst her daughter was in class
She muttered as she did it
At the most untidy lass

When the windows sparkled
On the carpets not a crumb
The duvet washed, the pillows fluffed
And one contented mum

The house was now so peaceful
Neat and tidy, every room
Sudoku out, coffee made,
harmony in tune

Crash bang wallop, went the door
Clatter up the stairs
Yells of outraged disbelief
Someone’s touched what wasn’t theirs

How could you do it mum
Cried a very angry voice
How I live is my concern
Tho’ it may not be your choice

Paper folded, coffee cold
Yes the girl had made it plain
That she was home was very clear
And chaos reigns again

I have always written poetry but when my husband died suddenly I used it as a kind of therapy. I don’t usually share these unless I feel they will help someone in distress. The ones I share are mostly humorous intended to bring a smile in what I feel can be a very lonely world... I have written four booklets and now a Corona chronicles which is just twelve poems writ while I am in jail...oh sorry I meant lockdown. Am on my way for a second booklet.. Trying to make folk smile and take a minutes release from these difficult times helps me forget my sight problems..
