Tom Quigley Poet Diminished Hexaverse

It Was One of Those Mornings

Alarm clock blaring
I smell it from bed
Dog’s rear exploded
Got into the trash
Dang mutt needs diapers

Dog nailed the cat
Both need a bath
Can’t use the hose
Seven below

Scrub them down
They sure fight
Brown tub ring

It’s up
My nose

Poop.

Lazy weekend morn
Kids bounce on our bed
Pouncing from above
Bundles of giggles
Tickle spots abound

Pancake souffle
Steam from oven
Bacon, syrup
One too many

Gather up
Hop on bikes
Burn it off!

Don’t need
Much lunch

Nap.

Daniel Turner March 20, 2016 at 7:41 AM I'm not sure how I'd deal with the poop up the nose. It all sounds wonderful. The trappings of a young family. Really nice Tom. Good luck in contest, this should do well. Peace my friend:) Tom Quigley March 20, 2016 at 9:05 PM Only a slight exaggeration with the poop thing...thanks!
