Dear Pome Lover,

LOL. A fun filled poem about a messy desk. I've known a few like you who have no desire to clean up their mess. What is interesting to me is that people like you know where everything is and can instantly retrieve it. Phenomenal cadence in your verse to enhance the reader's pleasure.

Warm regards,

Winslow

This is a very cute poem you have penned about the messy desk syndrome! I can relate to that as mine is messy right now. I keep all kind of notes on my desk. Very cute and true wording and great imagery with the art work. Blessings, Teri

Thanks, Teri -
though the photo isn't really of my desk, mine isn't far from it. After writing this, however, I did get AT&T attended to; now to tackle the other stuff.

Oh gosh! Can I relate to this poem! I have a desk that is not too far away from looking like the one in the picture. Lol :) It's just like you said, one gets "glassy-eyed" just thinking about having to go through all that stuff and make decisions on what to keep and what can go. If I had a convertible, I'd take off in it, too, to avoid that chore. :) I enjoyed this poem so much! Wonderful rhyme and rhythm! This was such a fun read! Thank you for sharing! :)

thanks, Jenna! Actually, that is a picture I found on Google, but my desk does have piles of to-do things on it that I've been putting off, although I did get AT&T taken care of today. One down, anyway. Convertible is fiction, too, sigh. Just having fun with this poem, hoping I'd hear from people.Glad you liked it!

A very well-written poem. Anyone with a busy.life can associate with this poem. A messy desk is a normal.occurrence for me while working, normally I tidy up when I am done.

thanks, Sandra. Actually I found that picture on Google. My desk isn't that bad though there are things I need to get to that I've been putting off. Just having a bit of fun.

I could not work at a messy desk as I would have no inspiration, as my mind would be focused on the tidying up! I remember once I went for a job in the 1970's to work for a solicitor and when I saw his office I said in the interview that I could not work in this environment and that he must tidy up his office if he is expecting someone to work for him! I got up and walked out, I think he was a little stunned! But then others thrive in chaos! Food for thought here, love Dolly x

well, mine is now semi-cleared. think I told you that wasn't really my desk - found the picture on Google.
As far as the job with the messy solicitor, you must not have wanted it very badly. Well, you stood up for your principles. Good.

Oh, girl... it would make me sooo happy if that really was your desk. Haha!! Then I could try to believe that someone out there had a desk/work place that looked worse than mine.

But --sigh-- I think that's just a pipe dream, really.

This was a terrific poem. The internal rhymes and unexpected word choices kept me entertained all the way through.

Thanks! I enjoyed!

hate to tell you but that pix I found on Google - finally learned how to transpose them to FS. yay. Anyhoo, am sure my real desk isn't far from that one if that makes you feel any better.
I wrote you a long reply telling you about a book I am reading that I love and thought you might like, too - the author has a great vocabulary and instills in his unfortunate protagonist a sense of fun that is delightful. It is A Gentleman in Moscow. What a writer! After I wrote all that, my computer went offline and I had to restart - losing everything. arrgghh!
Anyway, thank you for the wonderful review. I really appreciate it.

I enjoyed reading your poem "My Messy Desk". It just flowed along beautifully and I liked your picture. Just one small thing, lines two and four in stanza three do not rhyme.
All the best

well, I thought it was close enough read out loud. A little poetic license.
But glad you enjoyed it.

Well YES!! Don't miss these beautiful autumn days!! Attack that mess when winter sets in!! My art room was like this. I finally put an 8 drawer dresser in there....and shoved all the mess in the drawers. Now that's weighing on my conscience, ha ha. Your rhyme is flawless, I loved this! Blessings...

thanks you! Now that is a T-whistlin' idea - an 8 drawer chest for the mess, but I guess I'd better tackle it. Actually that's not my desk, found it on Google :) but mine is not far from it. Many thanks again.

LOL this is excellently done. I love the double internal rhyme that I never can so and make it flow so very well as this one does. Great rhyme and flow
