Poem

A part-time poet's destined to be plagued by pressure
  The press of time, the pulse of work, vanished years
Barely a moment to reflect, swirling phrases unmeasured
  Envisioning the thrill -- pondering ideas at leisure

The press of time, the pulse of work, vanished years
  Bloody lies my train of thought, derailed once more
Envisioning the thrill -- pondering ideas at leisure
  What wouldn't I give for such unimaginable pleasure

Bloody lies my train of thought, derailed once more
  To start over -- Where was I? -- Cauldrons of frustration
What wouldn't I give for such unimaginable pleasure
  Dream on, part-time poet, of vast unattainable treasure

Comes my annual vacation, free at last from work's shackles
  Alas, stay-cations raise beloved family members' hackles
To start over -- Where was I? -- Cauldrons of frustration
  Barely a moment to reflect, swirling phrases unmeasured

Alas, stay-cations raise beloved family members' hackles
  Wistful aspirations decimated, grim rations of jackals
Barely a moment to reflect, swirling phrases unmeasured
  A part-time poet's destined to be plagued by pressure
