Catching up, are we?

Here are some more poems I've done for NaPoWriMo!

20

We worry too much
To dream today.
"There's much to do,"
He used to say
Stomping.
We insist on a schedule
But I demand breaks,
Resting.
I'm weak for it, probably, you think.

21 - Pink, mostly

I was the child that hated pink
Because I was supposed to like it.
A little here and there
Never bothered me
But everyone knew I favored blue--
Sally Acorn with her vest!
And the darker, the better; navy
Turned that expectation on its head.

But, 7th grade found me
Forced into being "older"
Because "Girls Mature Faster"
(and Black Girls are just "Fast").
I envied Chibi Usa
And her pink hair and skirt--
She got to be a kid.
So I clung to deep pink.

Older, now,
I don't have colors to loathe.
Pink accessorizes my outfits.
"Pynk" gains constant traction in my head.
And whether my lover wears it
Or I make up with bright roses,
It accompanies my blue
Very well.

22 - In Which They Fight

The Nintendo Switch and Kobo eReader
Clash for my attention.
Games, or Reading?
Either way, I'm engaged with
Something I enjoy
In my favorite spot with my favorite blanket.
I wish they'd see that.
It's like having two kids, I suppose,
Or two cats;
I love them both!
And yet, they squabble.
One of them threw a punch.
Time to break them up.
