In a matter of several days, I lost touch with my own poetry challenge. It seems that I really have some time issue. Since I started my new editor job, I seem to have lost the habit to blog regularly. That coincided with the moment I started preparing for my thesis defense, too. I can’t decide which factor affected my blogging routine stronger. Of course, I graduated nearly a month ago, and the thesis was filed in for evaluation even earlier, so that factor at least stopped its interference. Let’s say I took some time to rest. And, surely, working with texts, articles and news all day, not having time to check my social profiles, has a bit negative effect on my. Summer evenings are hardly enough for all I miss during the day, and family is more important than Internet. I believe, though, I am gradually and steadily coming back and today I even took some time to see where next I could submit some work. I do a lot of reading, too. Free time is not abundant, though, when you work full-time and you have a kid, so I have to make some adjustments and do things by priority.
To cut it brief, the prompt for July 19th is Air-Conditioner. That is where the idea took me.
The door will open to the
coolness inside.
All sweat forgotten
as if it had never been there
The breeze gliding
through the upper room
Swipes my forehead
clean of thoughts
And missions failed
Or simply not too successful.
