For poetry potluck at Jingles
Home makers
We have no Valentines
We are nobody’s sweethearts.
Cooking ranges and dishwashers, yes
Comforters and incubators.
We are the furniture and brooms
The curtains that wipe runny noses, stray tears,
duped for generations, cajoled
into believing we were partners.
“You are my world”-said he.
My apple pie, a bundle of surprise,
for he had married a girl and uncovered
a multi-tasking, washing machine in disguise!

How true is this for us home makers. Crazy how the love turns to the day to day hustle and bustle. Hopefully you can metamorphose into something new. Happy Potluck!

I think in some ways many women can identify with this…even if it isn’t to that extreme.
“The curtains that wipe runny noses, stray tears”. Perfect. Who hasn’t had a days when those feelings don’t run rampant.
Sad poem…thought provoking.
Thanks for sharing. Stopping by Potluck Poetry
