On the Job


It was four a.m. when the alarm rang.

And three pillows started to fall.

Two silly eyes squinted and checked the clock.

One angry poke then everything stopped.

A decision must be made-

So, he stretched those legs and sat down.

He thought about his king-size bed:

“My pillows were big and squishy,

The blankets were incredibly comfy,

Just for today, just for today...”

And at last, he made up his mind.

Hey there! 🌟 High school me turned to writing short stories and poems for kicks, and it's been a love affair ever since. At present, I'm a special education teacher, guiding an amazing bunch of diverse kiddos. I channel my romantic soul into my poetry, often inspired by people close to me or just good old self-reflection. Love is my muse, I guess. I'd love for you to dive into my world of words and can't wait to experience your poetry too! Let's connect and get inspired together! 😊 Yey!
