Day Passes

By AudreyHowitt

Day passes

night ensues

chores the same

as yesterday

and the years pass

hating my dishes

I love the picture...and as some one else said, short and sweet. I love poetry, but don't read or write much of it anymore.

Amazing that so much can be conveyed or hinted at in so few words...and to me at least "dishes" can represent so many different things. I really, really like this.

As an artist, may I say the painting was perfect. We can't do them like that anymore. We can't afford to take the time. As far as the poem . . . it is perfectly balanced like haiku. Content . . . it's the same all over.

...well if it's gonna make you feel any better I'll come over and do your dishes because your writing is so very eloquent and I would put you in the world class of a writer's writer.

Thank you Vinaya, alocsin and Deborah--I suppose there are chores that we like more and those we like less--it just seems like a thankless job to me--
