New Year’s Fireworks and Your Snore

Friday 1st January 2021 6:49 am

earsplitting pops and crackles reverberate off the river into our home

our cats dash under beds taking shelter amid the war zone

I calmly explain it’s just the 2021 New Year’s fireworks fun

soon the explosive noises and jubilant celebrations will all be done

just as my words become truth your snore breaks into the night and shakes the earth beneath my sleep-deprived bum

our cats look to me once again for answers but sadly this time I have none

I really enjoyed the humour in this poem which hits you with a surprise at the end. Manages to be poetic and funny. Great!
