About This Poem

In One Hour


The glass broke and spat shards on the naked floor
While the room kept silent. The air was quiet.
The dust was still in place…laying proudly undisturbed
Books lay on the floor dishevelled and bemused, while 
The white walls were no  longer…white.    A blue 
Undecipherable writing took pride of place.
The carpet had been rolled into the corner,
Disguised as a cushion. While the DVD’s 
Had been stacked in a pile, ready for easy access 
Behind the settee, came a noise, she stood nervously 
As her child came out, unaware of the surrounding chaos
From his playtime…

    A certain entertaining write, very interesting to say the least! This poem is a little disturbing in some ways, not that this is a bad thing, just a little different! A very grandiose poem my friend, I really enjoyed reading it this morning! Fascinating, Great Work!!

    Nice bit of suspense there David. I never forget receiving a gift from my sister, one of those huge bottle gardens already planted. My boys broke it the same night, it cost us a fortune hunting round to find the exact same one to replace it the next day.. little darlings xx

    An all too familiar scenario such nicely described in your poem. It kept me guessing till the end, well something like a sweet suspense. Nice to be reading your poems again.
