Best Poems Written by William House

Puppet Routine

When the morning jerks the strings
Of marionette puppets from their dreams
Into motion they will spring 
Set forth upon that same routine
Carried out upon the wings 
Of daylight as it moves and sings
That same old song until it brings
A sense of tired to you and me 
As nighttime falls and beckons sleep
A gust of wind will chill and sweep
That sweaty stench of summer heat
And this short break we'll pray to keep
Forever here, to never leave
