PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Crayon colors on the walls

Papers scattered

Books on the floor

Blanket Forts in every room

Dishes piled in the sink

The table is a mess

trash overflowing

Clothes everywhere

Some in the wash and some in the dryer

The bathroom needs cleaning

Lipstick and toothpaste on the mirrors

frustration running through the hair

Stepping on them jumping Jack's scattered

Yelling in pain as my head smacks the frame

Before falling to the floor, hand lands on the hot iron

Cuss words flying in disgust

Ice pack needed before making the beds 

Kids screaming as the TV crashes to the floor

Voices can be heard, "stay calm"

Is it bedtime yet?

Dinner burning.. gotta focus

Tears forming

Mascara smeared

Bags under the eyes

Dinner finally served, baths ran

Songs and stories to help them sleep

Now it's my turn to get the rest

dreaming of the weekend to come

Maybe a cup of coffee or two

Before I know it, I'm sleeping on the couch 

Waking up to start cleaning all over again
