Summer post #1

Well I started doing my summer homework today, although I have done a few things previously, I do not qualify it as an official start. For this occasion, I decided to write a poem about summer and well I don’t know where my inspiration will take me but this is free style guys. (I also need a blogpost and I really don’t know what to write about)

Today is the 31st of July,

Making me think; time does fly.

I hate summer.

Oh sorry, did I say that too soon?

Well my words are said. Because we all know

I’ll spend half my time binging tv shows on my bed.

The beach is overcrowded 

It’s hot and the sun is scorching 

But no fear! It’s almond season here.

Three days, I will spend, opening nuts,

As if I am trying to uncover a mystical secret of the universe,

But really, my father needed more “main d’oeuvre”

And there is my new found talent,

I can spend endless hours alternating

From one app to another, my sister would care to add; 

“Almost as rapidly as you jump to conclusions”

And I might have delayed my summer work too much,

I might not finish this load in time but

Let them know you are ill-equipped; 

Decorating ruins in flowers will not change 

The original state of the edifice.

And my mother has asked me so many times

“Yesmine, shouldn’t you start studying?”

To the point of it being engraved in the back of my mind

I could even start a shift in paradigm.

Are you bothered yet by my lack of rhymes?

Sure my creativity could be defined 

By my ability to make some coherent sounding poetry

But I refuse to adhere to this obligation 

That doesn’t matter between the lines

Because only there you can define 

What is truly on my mind 

When I lay my fingers on my keyboard

Desperately but surely filling the word count

For this sorry excuse of poetry.
