Reciprocation

I got up
out of bed
got dressed
fed the cats
and myself

turned on the tv
news and weather
looked outside
it was sunny
but cool on the windows

sat, smoked, thought
half a day gone

pointless but true
not all inspirationy
or exciting
but true nonetheless

my life this morning
in a piece for
your boredom relief tonight

a dull poem
for sure
but it took some of your time
away from
nothingness
creeping all over you

Al,

I thoroughly enjoyed your dull day but as our friend Beau says that last stanza draws the poem to a perfect close, its a creepy thing to think of nothing, nothing ! crawling on you, I really loved it and sorry I cannot find anything to crit

This was my day exactly,

although tonight I spent a fair bit of time on Neopoet and wrote a bad poem.

Love this, everything that Beau said.

My epitaph will be
"I'm glad I didn't spend more time at the office"
