Poetry Monday is a challenge, normally hosted by Diane at On the Border.
But from Monday, January 8, 2024, Messymimi
and I have conspired to keep the chair
warm for her, as she's taking a break due to
health issues. We will each set the topics for one month, I began with
January, Mimi supplied for February, and so on until Diane returns.
Today is Order.
This did not speak to me. I am not a fan of order, neither the verbal ones, nor asking for something to be brought or served, nor the "everything on its place" version. So I was baffled, until it hit me that I could make a un-order-ly poem. Here it is.
Though order is a perfect thing,
I like the jumble chaos bring
Yes, order's not for me, I've found.
I like to have my things around.
If now and then you think like me
Then come in from wind and weather.
Come in and grab a chair that's free,
And have a mug, let's sit together.
I dare you then to look around
And name a thing that can't be found.
I love my true chaotic style,
I love it every mess and pile.

Next Monday: Tape - a sticky topic.
Dear readers and co-bloggers, now commenting is again possible on almost all blogs.
We're still waiting for the blogrolls to update, so if you think I'm slow in commenting this might be why.
While waiting for an update on this, know that I'm still reading and enjoying your blogs, albeit a bit later than any of us would like.
I am smiling. And live surrounded by chaos. Chaos that I sometimes try and control.
SvarSletThank you. Chaos under control is the way I tick :)
SletI love this poem! Though I'm not a fan of total chaos, I do have a lot of "stuff" , so maybe my place is a little chaotic.
SvarSletLess is more where chaos is concerned, or at least more is not better ;)
SletWonderfully done! There's something to be said for having some things right where you know you have them, and some things simply in the junk drawer somewhere.
SvarSletJunk drawer, I like that, every household needs one for thse object.
SletA place for everything and everything in it's place is fine in some places - kitchen shelves for me - but chaos is better in my creative den :)
