Prompted Poem: Patience

Hours in traffic

with a busted aux cord.

A graphic mishap

at the cutting board.

Messes that make themselves

like hydras of clutter.

So much uncut grass

and the mower dies with a sputter.

The last of the butter

disappeared, and the toast,

now forced into nakedness,

is charred and quite gross.

Sickness and pain

and so many stubbed toes,

every conceivable

interruption of the flow,

and lo —

it amounts to nothing

but laughter and smiles.

If my day ends with you,

then all the while,

I'll have piles and piles

of patience.

About the Creator

Jacob Sherman

The desire to read, and perhaps to write, should be cultivated and nurtured with care throughout every stage of life. For my part I will inject what strangeness and truth that I can into our written history. Expect no constants but honesty.
