Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

At Home

I’m here at home
But I don’t care
‘Cause I don’t wanna
Leave the air.

The sun beats down;
The temps are high.
To venture out?
No reason why.

I’m reading books;
I’m potting plants.
Think I’ll get bored?
No, not a chance.

My closets wait
For me to clean.
A crossword’s in
The magazine.

Tomorrow heat
Will fizzle out;
Then I will leave,
Without a doubt.

Daniel Turner June 13, 2017 at 5:07 PM It is sweltering here today, too, Mrs Ilene. Air you can wear. Stay cool:)

Tim Smith June 13, 2017 at 1:58 PM I just turned the air to make it a little cooler in here. Finished my book last night so will venture out to the library but that's it.

Chris Green June 13, 2017 at 12:59 PM I know exactly what you mean. It is 96 here today and inside sounds much more attractive to me. Nicely done my friend. You take the every day and make it something poetically special.
