At Home
AT HOME
Bestockinged foot gently begins to push
Big sleeping cat across the polish
Bright of the floor - doesn’t even wake to purr.
Baby turns and twists in high-chair and fusses;
Brother catches the bottle of formula
Before it tumbles and falls.
Dinner dishes in the sink wait
Delayed, to be wiped and washed:
Dripping faulty faucet leaves plates wet.
Snow outside silently masking
Softly the landscape’s imperfect make-up,
Smoothing deeper and wider the snow’s mass
…………………………………………………………………………..
Note
This is a rhyme scheme I have devised … the first and final
words of each line in a stanza begin with same consonants
