We took a week long holiday
and whilst we were away
Our lovely children trashed our house
‘Disgraceful’ you might say
But you’ve not heard the half of it
for what they planned to do
was a complete and total makeover
to create a home brand new
Poems, poets, poetry, writing, poetry challenges

If nothing else
there is music
Melodies that capture memories
Carrying me back to another time
When I would rock my baby to sleep
as “You are My Sunshine” played softly in the background
Just like being stretched upon the rack
bruised toes and aching back.
Practice practice every day
no time to sooth those pains away.
Willowy thin is hard to maintain
you have to be strict and refuse treats
again and again.

Following each other like rats they ran
0ut of the subway and in to the rain , as one man.
Only to be halted in their flow
by the strains of the most wonderful music they would ever know.
There she stood, radiant in red, locked in space and time.
The music she played was making all the wrongs of the world just fine.
