Procrastination

My problem is not peculiar to me This propensity to procrastinate So, come next year, if it is not too late, I shall try very, very hard, you see, From this habit to finally break free Then again, I might recapitulate. It is possible I may overcome Putting the chores off until tomorrow, From last week's odious troubles borrow Today's work will always seem cumbersome, Next week prob'ly won't be so troublesome, Then, I will deal with the such sweet sorrow. In any case, hope you will wish me luck At this moment, I couldn't give a puck. March 4, 2021

Hahaha loved the last word wink. But we have a shared dare I say "problem". I love the flow of this poem. The first two lines allieration, and of course rhyming keeps the rhythm. I'm not much of a rhymer, but someday perhaps I'll try it. Later. Thank you.

I was following the rules of a contest that required this type of rhyme. I write both...rhyme and free verse. I try to match the form with the theme, etc. Thanks for your comment.

LOL. Did you notice my word "puck?" I have no idea what that means, but I do know what it sounds like! I'm trying to keep the word police happy! LOL

Most of them are waiting to comment later, I suspect.

Procrastination and indecision are the bane of many people's lives. I can completely relate to your poem. I wish you all the luck in the world. Perseverance wins in the end.
