Sara Kendrick Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Housekeeping

I'll do some housekeeping today
Take my broom and sweep the clouds away
There won't be anytime for play
But if you come and want to stay

I'll share a sunset with you...
We can dream of rose and violet-blue
Take my rake I'll draw the night blind
Fling the stars from the shovel to shine

Pull the switch for the moon to light....
To glow on my place, this very night...
As we share the stars and time,
Out on the porch in our prime

Brian Sambourne October 26, 2022 at 8:43 PM Such an engaging poem that draws the reader in with such a sensuous invitation to "...share the stars and time." Now who could resist such a tempting offer? Be well. Brian Sara Kendrick October 27, 2022 at 6:26 AM Why, thank you, Brian. It would be nice to sit on the porch to share the stars and time with someone. I appreciate the visit to my page. Sara

Quoth Theraven January 11, 2021 at 6:18 PM Sara, I like the way the words dance and sway in your poem. All while you toil through the livelong day. -Richard Sara Kendrick January 12, 2021 at 5:43 AM Quoth, Yes, some days there is a lot of work but I have reached the age that not so much work happens around here. Things just go undone. Your kind review of my work is encouraging. Sara

Since learning more about poetry I think this one could be classified as couplets(maybe with some poetic license). Sara

Caren Krutsinger March 27, 2018 at 4:27 AM Take my broom and sweep the clouds away is exactly the way. I feel when I'm in an angry or disappointed mood, there is nothing like housework to cast off the shadows. There won't be any time to play. Exactly! I have to FAV this one. Sara Kendrick July 8, 2020 at 8:14 AM Caren, Thanks for dropping by. I appreciate you faving this one. Sara

Jean Marble December 28, 2009 at 4:42 PM This is such a lovely write! Very whimsical, playful, romantic and refreshing! I think such magical things really are a part of housekeeping. Imaginative playfulness engages a household and creates a cozy, inspiring atmosphere... just like this poem.
