Window

O window, window, you taunt me so Clearly my cleaning standard's low Covered in grime and spider web My love for you is at an ebb Challenging me each time I pass I can no longer gaze upon the grass Because thick mould has turned you black Murky reminder that I am slack I'm sure I cleaned you recently Or maybe that's just fantasy I sure as hell don't feel inclined To clean you now (or anytime)! 23 April 2023 W words writing challenge poetry contest Constance la France Copyright © Julie

Good one that is on the winner's list. I mostly am not inclined to do windows either, but sometimes they just reach a point that they need to be cleaned. Congratulations on this being on the winner's list. Thank you for sharing. Sara
