POEM STARTER

Write a poem that sounds like it was composed whilst the poet was multi-tasking.

What devices could you use to show interupted thoughts, or movement between spaces or tasks?

Writings

Couch Sitting

Dinner is done.

Dishes arenā€™t cleared

Guess I am the one

to clear them.


Oh I didnā€™t start the washer.

Brush your teeth.

Whereā€™s your father?

Seeds in the floor.

Cucumbers taste fine with seeds!


As I sit to take a break,

Ding ding test received.

Yes you can play the game.

Stop jumping on the couch.


Aaah feet up ready to read.

Ready to write.

Can I have some milk?...

Lostā€¦ In Her Texts Rather Than The Wind.

Lost in the wind,

Is where I want to be,

With a blissful state of mi-

Oh_, god, _she just messaged me_-_


Uhmā€¦ I mean-

Floating through the lands, from dawn to dusk,

Feeling content and everything in between..

Waitā€¦ I dunno if I wrote that text rightā€¦


How am I supposed to respond to her without looking dumb?-

Oh- right, I gotta work on this poemā€¦ anyways,

The breeze is where freedom is originated...

Multitasking

ā€œAlexa whats my announcement?ā€

Frick Frack

Stubbed my toe

Guess I gotta buy a new yo-yo

Washing dishes

Feed the fishes

ā€œWait is is tuesday already?ā€

I need a shower

In about an hour

Mop the floor

ā€œKids stop slamming the door!ā€

I am stressed out

But alas I can not pout

Or I will have to shout

Because I am multitasking again...

ā€œsorry Iā€™m multitaskingā€

Toilet paper, green beans

Mushrooms and blue jeans


Donā€™t forget to vacuum grannyā€™s room

Hi love please may you buy a can of doom



Yes I would love to come for lunch

How to give your French fries an extra crunch


Quick easy recipes

How to get rid of flies and flees


Correct way to hold tongs

Top 100 pop songs


Hey siri play the new Ariana Grande album

Tips to reduce excess sebum

Winner Of This Game

I play a game on my phone

As I try to write this poem

Whoop! My turn again

Aw man! The game is over


I think of what to write over here

Oh, wait! Two player game

I think Iā€™m trying too hard here

But donā€™t we all wish to write for fame?


Okay, now Iā€™m ahead of my opponent

So back to writing this

Iā€™m terrible with multitasking

But will I ever stop? I wish


Okay, now itā€™s my turn again

Time to ...

Distractions ļæ¼

Lying in bed all alone, late at night,

Wishing you were still here, so I could hold you tight.

Scruffy, get down! Stop licking me!

Iā€™m trying to write this poem, canā€™t you see?


I turn back to my paper with a furrowed brow,


Where was I? Oh yeah, I remember now.

Thinking about the day you left me all alone,

Crying, wondering if youā€™ll ever come back home.


Without you, skies are gray, and the ...

Orange Juice

Shoot I spilled my Orange Juice

GAH! Now itā€™s on my laces

Guess theyā€™re have to stay loose

Iā€™ll grab a piece of toast

Now the post is covered in juice

As well as my hand

And the post fell into the sand

I think Iā€™ll start over and go back to bed

Thereā€™s no way I can mess up banana bread...

You Keep Talking

You keep talking and talking

But I canā€™t do all these functions

My heart tells me no

God, how embarrassing too

Fuck these dishes are insane

Oh I want to paint

Something like a near death experience

She called again,

I need to listen to my friends

But you keep talking and talking

Canā€™t get everything done

Iā€™ll pop these energy combusted

Pills that turn off my attachments , feeling the none

Now ...

Multitasking Love

I'm thinking about your eyes, so deep and oh so brown,

But wait, a text just dinged, it's Katherine in the town.

She's asking ā€˜bout that movieā€™, the one we talked about,

I'll just tell her ā€˜later,ā€™ my love poem's in a doubt.


The way you smile at me, it makes my heart take flight,

Oh, Mom's calling for dinner, ā€œAre you coming, alright?ā€

But I'm in the middle of this verse, expressing love so sweet...

sometimes i feelā€¦

ā€¦a little crazy.

thatā€™s normal, right?

we all have our days

where


tonight as light

streaks across the sky

the stars


bloom into flowers

of many different colors

lavender, violet, cinnamon


cinnamon isnā€™t a color

but it very well good be

with its district taste

and bright feel


ohhhhhh noooooo now Iā€™m hungry


cHiCkEn nOoDLe sOuP


IF YOU DONā€™T FEED THE POET, BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN >:(


ā€¦please?
