Poem 933 – Lethargic Poet

Can I be bothered?
The weekend was long
and I’m feeling weary.
But above the swifts
are wheeling still
and I’m put to shame.
Perhaps I ought
to rouse myself…
Maybe tomorrow.

Yesterday I had a five hour drive back from near Exeter and today is hot. You almost got a haiku…
