Housewife Poems

Premium Member1950s Housewife

the 1950 housewife wears her best dress to clean
and pearls from Hawaii with a slick dazzling sheen.
In her polished high heel shoes, she prances in the kitchen.
Making food for her family without help and never ’n.

The 1950’s housewife cleans and vacuums with delight.
If there are any messes, she keeps them hidden from our sight.
She is

the dolled-up housewife

She’s a dolled-up housewife, poured with Honey’s money.
Only likes to glamp in secret; Meet her “Daddy”.
When stealthy escapes became her wild musings,
Each of those sleepless nights, she is slowly losing…
Her vows are filled with betrayal and deception.
Actions become an impure rage and obsession.
Breakfast lies are best served when the clock stops at six.
“Call me tonight

Premium MemberHousewife Handbook

oh, wow! The housewife handbook
given to me by six people in my husband’s family
they all got thrown out the window the same day
from an apartment we rented ten stories up from the sidewalk

have a drink ready for him when he comes home
have his favorite music playing
have his dinner ready to serve hot
do everything you can

Premium MemberCharlotte Is Housewife Not Wife

Charlotte kept the house cleaner than anyone else.
She washed and scrubbed and vacuumed until it was an obsession.
Her husband wanted her time, but she had none to spare.
As a housewife, she was determined to deep clean daily.

Her house was her kryptonite; she was super cleaner.
Let’s go on vacation, he would say. Let’s stay in bed

Fourth in the Mother's Day Poetry Contest


The  woman married at a young age
to the eldest son of a farmer-
my maternal uncle and neighbor.

Usually, she woke up early at the crow's caw
and swept the dirt floor of the house with a broom
often wiping it with water and a nura ( wet cloth )
After that she

Housewife

Who m I just a housewife
Without any dreams
Or ambitions in life

So what if I was good with ciphering game
I got stucked while deciphering life aim
Now I use my mathematical skills
Only to calculate household bills

So what if I was good with studies
I failed to keep close buddies
Now Im lost in a lonely planet
With no friends by

Premium MemberGuess What Word Irritates Me

Guess which word irritates me in this poem?

If you do not figure it out, you can read my notes.

Who has the most clout? A carwife or a housewife?
Do we have to factor in the dollar amount paid for the car 
and the house?

Would the two million dollar housewife be worth more or less than the
one

Agony of a Housewife

When was the last time you said "how was your day?"
Or simple hello bae
All you care about is your fame
Your picture in the frame
While my heart you tame

Daily I shed tears on my pillow
Since you have suddenly turned my source of sorrow
Probably you may change tomorrow
Your job I everyday I blow
But my body you daily

The Housewife

I must have left the window up
For a creature came inside.
She was bright and beautiful, with ornate wings;
You would never believe your eyes.

"What are you doing here, little thing?
The meadow is your home.
You are much too stunning, lovely, wonderful,
To be in the dreary dome.

But you might just be the perfect thing
To give this house some

Premium MemberA Desperate Housewife - In Limerick Form

A desperate housewife I knew
had such mundane housework to do.
Being so tired of it,
she decided to quit.
Then off to Las Vegas she flew.

Having always been such a lithe girl,
she thought “I’ll give dancing a whirl!”
Her audition went well.
From a large oyster shell
She emerged, so they all dubbed her Pearl.

Her skin, soft and fair, shone like

Premium MemberDesperate Housewife

I used to be a boss in the cut-throat business world
Until the day I woke and everything I ate I hurled
My belly grew, my energy shrank, so I "simplified" my life
Added two sons, lost bladder control, now I'm a desperate housewife!

It seemed so easy at the time, no tedious nine to five
Cook some meals, clean

50’s housewife on kink							


I like to please, always have
you need something, already in the car, your favorite dish- surprise it’s made
delicious, nutritious  , satisfying
catering to all whims
don’t get up, i’ll get you another drink daddy
it’s so natural
saw it in my grandmother and mom, catering to men’s wishes remaining on task
putting others first as you
