Angelia Braswell Poet Narrative

"I'm Bored!"

"I'm bored!" I told my mother
as she stood there washing dishes.

She told me, "Go clean your room,"
but that's not what I wanted to do.

"Momma, that sounds boring—
not much fun at all."

She promptly answered,
"Then vacuum down the hall."

I stomped my foot and shouted,
"No way! Not today!

I want a new adventure!"

How can it be, with all her years,
she has no great ideas?

So I asked her one more time
for something fun to do.

Craving something more,
I said once again,

"I want a new adventure!"

My mother sighed, our conversation over.
Exasperated, she exclaimed,

"I'm not your cruise director!"
