PIctures...

So... here are some pictures because I couldn't think of a poem. The first is a limb with snow on it, the next two were taken in Florida (it was so hot it melted a crayon, and a wall of shoes w/o flash that I thought looked cool) and the fourth is of a daffodil (look closely inside the flower). They were more of my artistic photos.

Cinderelly, Cinderelly

Well. TOP this week was interesting. I really don't like the way this one was written, but I'm posting it anyways. Thanks for all your comments on last weeks poem! (I'm having a hard time with placing comments and even posting things online because I use a Mac and not a PC; I'm lucky I know basic HTML codes!)
So here's my poem for this week.


Cinderelly, Cinderelly


The vacuum in the hall beckons
it’s voice added to the cacophony
of things I’ve yet “To Do”


The dishwasher gapes
its open mouthed stare unnerving
not to mention the blank eyes
of the washer and dryer


My grocery list seems to go on forever
pooling like Santa’s Naughty List
at the base of the empty ‘fridge


The mountainous pile of laundry looms
the precarious height threatens
a multi-colored avalanche of epic proportions


and the six inches of dust
on the TV screen begs to be wiped clean
I can’t even see House through the haze


the small dust bunnies under my couch
have been genetically altered
becoming instead monstrous dust bears


I steel my nerves and grit my teeth
my resolve is final as i grip the mop
I’ve always felt like Cinderella
when I clean the house
