    Evening Chores

    The wind blows around her
    As she works there alone
    Hanging their laundry
    All on her own

    She stops for a moment
    Tilts her face to the sky
    Hopes the rain will hold off
    And that their clothes will stay dry

    The trees whisper nearby her
    Their scent on the breeze
    The smell of the pine’s
    Making her sneeze

    She heads to the house
    The chores finally done
    She’ll sit on her porch
    To watch the setting sun

    Another fine day
    With little distraction
    She smiles with warmth
    And self satisfaction

    Wishing

    I wish I could fly with geese,
    escape the threatening clouds.

    I wish the wind could blow me free
    of senseless, mindless housework.

    I wish I could have servants
    who could do the chores I hate.

    But wishing won’t get laundry done.
    My work is never over.

    Wishing
