How tough ?
Night owls, early birds tough
Never quite enough tough
Planning grind and wine tough
Searching for more time tough
4000 words, five days tough
Cancelled mothers days tough
Sleepy drives home tough
Trying not to moan tough
Take away for tea tough
Living waits for me tough
Work-a-way dreams tough
Ripping at the seams tough
Observation fears tough
Need another beer tough
Nearly had enough tough
Made of tougher stuff
I can feel you have been working on this style.

ReplyDeleteDid you make manage 4000 words in 5 days?
ReplyDeleteThe poem was written upon completing a masters essay (whilst still working a job). It's that moment at which you stop, look up from the books and re-focus on life... and feel like wow, how did I make it through that. But I did make it and gained a merit for my essay. All essays done and just some loose ends to tie up... and I will be noticing butterflies once again :)
