I started writing this poem about a week ago, can’t believe it took so long. Much more difficult than writing a text. Hats off to all my poet-blogger-friends!
Dear God,
Once in a while
After all your jobs are done,
Could you please put the world
On auto-run?
I don’t know how to say this
I am trying not to groan,
But just to put it simply
I am suffering from ‘My Time Deficiency Syndrome!’
I plan my week in advance
I work hard day and night,
To finish off my to-do lists
Hoping tomorrow would be ‘light’
‘Light’ enough to just sit down
I am not asking for a nap,
Its nice to call up friends sometimes
Or just chat on my WhatsApp.
Pedicures and manicures are nice to do
I like to spend time on how I look,
But the very first minute that I get free
I want to log on to Facebook.
I don’t want to do the dishes today
I don’t want to clean the sink,
I don’t want to iron that huge pile of clothes
I just want to sit down and think.
Think of what to write about
Something special for my blog,
It could be funny, it could be sweet
Maybe something that leaves my readers agog.
I don’t want to make fresh soup today
A can would do just fine,
I don’t want to run for activities
All I want is some free time.
They say I should hire a helper
But of what use is that I say,
I love my life the way it is
I only need a change today
Today, today, just for today!
Dear Mehroo,
A poem speaks so much about your inner feelings and you have very nicely captured that moment in your lines.
There will be a day, when it will not take a week, and words will simply flow and your first draft will be the best one. Till then, let your imagination flow… All the best!!!
Amen Amen Faiyaz! Thank you for your lovely comment.
Very nicley rhymed poem. It speaks a lot about you! Keep writing. 🙂
Thank you Samik. I am glad you enjoyed it. I am still waiting for that 'Today' though!

Me like very much! Nicely rhymed and flow is just right…keep writing my friend…it will become easier! 🙂
I am trying my hand on a second one. It flowed beautifully while I was quickly typing it out in the bus, but the minute I got down it was as if my thoughts got interrupted. Its been a week now but I haven't managed to finish it yet.
Thanks Kainaz, glad you liked it and could relate to it. Now I hope to see you and your comments much more often here! Need more family support.
