5th Nov 2017
I have found a list of poetry prompts for November so I thought I'd give it a go.. It'll keep me going as I don't seem to have much inspiration of my own.
Today's prompt is "Work Ethic", which is very timely as I've just discovered a book I want to read entitled "Deep Work" by Carl Newport. ( Rules for focused success in a distracted world.) Has anybody out there read it? It's a bit expensive to buy, only having been released last year . I think I might see if the library will get it for me.
Work Ethic
Having a real job would be easier
than sitting here trying to motivate myself
to do the work I must.
With no boss to answer to or oversee me
I procrastinate and use avoidance techniques
do anything but the thing
I should be doing.
Come on now, get to it, focus
you've got this
you can do this
OK a cup of coffee forst
then I'll start.
Hahaha! Feels so much like me, sitting here, reading your poetry instead of doing bills, or cleaning the house for my soon to arrive guests!
ReplyDeleteHa! Hope you enjoyed your cuppa. I'm drinking herbal tea for now ;)
