House-Keeping
I should be washing dishes
But squirrels are playing in the backyard.
I should be dusting and sweeping
But the sun is so warm on the back deck
I should be mopping the kitchen floor
But there are wild flowers to be admired.
I should be vacuuming the carpet
But the breeze is perfect for kite flying.
I should be doing laundry
But the fish are biting in the pond.
After a long winter, it is finally spring,
And my house will just stay messy a while longer.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.
Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
