A list poem is just that: A list. Though simple, the writer is still illustrating something in the poem, which should have a beginning and an end with each item written the same way.
Sometimes being an adult sucks, especially when I feel like I'm not living it on my own terms. Sometimes I just feel like ignoring the piled up laundry or dishes, or live on takeout while reading in bed. Rarely, but just sometimes. I deserve it sometimes, right?

What To Do, What To Do?
Don't sleep in on Saturdays.
Don't read before doing chores.
Don't keep pajamas on in the afternoon.
Don't leave clothes on the floor.
Don't put your hair in a ponytail.
Don't turn on the TV.
Don't leave clothes on the floor.
Don't put your hair in a ponytail.
Don't turn on the TV.
Don't leave the lights on.
Don't roll your eyes at me.
Don't burp while you're eating.
Don't fart while in bed.
Don't serve dinner a minute late.
Did you hear what I said?
Don't burp while you're eating.
Don't fart while in bed.
Don't serve dinner a minute late.
Did you hear what I said?
Don't forget to wash the car
do the vacuuming, dust
And sweep.
Don't neglect the grocery shopping
the dishes, the dog,
the laundry heap.
Don't stop the dieting
Or show up in casual clothes
even if they're new.
Don't decide how to live your life.
Or take any breathing room.
I know what's best for you.
And sweep.
Don't neglect the grocery shopping
the dishes, the dog,
the laundry heap.
Don't stop the dieting
Or show up in casual clothes
even if they're new.
Don't decide how to live your life.
Or take any breathing room.
I know what's best for you.
