Finally Home

For Literature class we had to write a poem. To do it, we were given three subjects from which we had to select one. In my case, I chose "A poem which describes what you find when you are coming home. (As in "Coming home")"

It marks five o'clock,

I enter through the front door.

After a long day at that box,

Finally, I'm home.

Everything is quiet, no one is there

Just the blow of the hot air.

If you see to the garden, there they are

The cat and the dog begging to come inside.

All set, I go to the kitchen

Cup, milk, chocolate, sugar

Filling that empty stomach, ah, that's what I care

Waiting for Friends to start to have a laugh

Routines are routines,

nothing has changed.

Just my age and my key chains.
