Taking a stab at Poetry Thursday

I have just been obsessed with culling the Sunday Scribblings site. I have had so much fun, been so inspired, so moved, so shaken by reading answers to Laini and Megg's question. I have many questions to answer, too, and hope to do that later today, but I have to cross some things off of the list you'll find here. It's just been so exciting scrolling through so many new blogs!

I've never tried to meet Liz's poetry challenge before, but when all this stuff was in my head yesterday I took a stab at using my to-do lists as a creative writing challenge. Why not investigate how I feel about some of these tasks? It might tell me exactly why I put some of them off. I loved Ticharu's comment on my last karate post. Really, truly, the wickedness in some tasks is all in my head. That he mentioned the cat pan truly crystalized things. It truly is a loathesome task, one I haven't been responsible for in almost 9 years! (Love you, honey!) Speaking of Hubby and Ticharu, here's a link to their internet band. Allrighty, I've stalled long enough. Here's a little thing I've decided to call Sinus Pressure.

Plucking my eyebrows
nit nit nit
Wince
Breathe
Swirling ramblings
Thoughts bouncing about
Sinus Pressure.

Gotta send some e-mails
Gotta make some calls
Gotta clean the house up
Gotta paint white walls
It’s likely I’ll put that off

Plucking my eyebrows
nit nit nit
Wince
Breathe
Swirling ramblings
Thoughts bouncing about
Sinus Pressure.

Chance to interview hot chef in town
Mr. 5 has to come along
Chance to win website contract
That would make new skills strong
Chance to breath in spring
It’s likely I’ll just skip that

Plucking my eyebrows
nit nit nit
Wince
Breathe
Swirling ramblings
Thoughts bouncing about
Sinus Pressure.

No school next week
No schedule really
No hope the boys will get along
No plans means imagination roams free
No limits

Plucking my eyebrows
nit nit nit
Wince
Breathe
Swirling ramblings
Thoughts bouncing about
Sinus Pressure.

Grocery lists
Unwritten to-do lists
Crayons across the table.
“Let’s color, Mommy.”
I’ll organize my thoughts tomorrow.


Comments:
what is it with hair... the strength of hair roots... truly amazing! to do lists, ah this resonates well with me. the swirling thoughts... I wish I could just put them in a box at night and sleep peacefully...
 
Ha!! I HATE plucking my unruly eyebrows and have only "had it done" once, for my wedding. Then I was afraid the redness was going to stick around until the actual wedding, but it didn't. Love the idea of all the thoughts swirling and organizing themselves as you pluck -- also, am intrigued about your writing. I'm always curious what kind of articles your write, and for who. Details?
 
This is the story of my life!!!
 
This is fabulous (and it's why I get my eyebrows waxed!)! OUCH! You're an incredible writer!
