Hey 😉
‘A poem of simultaneity’ was my optional task for this tenth day of National Poetry Month. This is what I came up with:
SIMULTUOUS [simʌltjʊəs]
My son’s clock ticked
And, further off, the road was whispering
Tales of a thousand wheels.
Down in the playroom:
Chirps of tablet games,
The occasional whoop of kids.
My husband typed:
Re-enacting the opening
Of Murder She Wrote in his mind
(Or so it seemed
As pounded plastic pummelled
Through the thin thoughts in my head)
Tree branches waved
The intermittent bird
Past the chalk-pen wiggles
Emblazoned on the glass.
At Eldest’s window
I sighed deeply;
Poetry seeping slowly
From a pen I didn’t touch.
Yes, I made the title word up.
