Life and Rhymes of a Poet

The words and sentences I create
filling page after page with rhyme
but my stories tend to deviate
seen it before time after time
for work I am nearly always late
forever searching for that killer line
so much so, the boss can wait
chef just smiles and says it's fine
he's pretty cool, never does berate
i'm always ten minutes after nine
with bleary eyes and hair a state
I look a proper lazy swine
like a bowl of soup served on a plate
but can't you sense my divine?

I see you have the word "chef" in your eighth line. Do you work in a kitchen? This is all decently descriptive work with appropriate rhyming included.

It's easy to let ones self get caught up in the writing of poetry...always afraid if you put the pen down...you will miss that all important line !! Enjoyed !!
