Everyday Life III

I hosted a couple of contests like this as quickies but for this one I would like only quality poetry to be entered so please take your time if you need to.

 

RULES:

20-100 words (preferably on the shorter side of that)
Freeverse
left-aligned

prompt:

Write an everyday moment; a snippet of your life made poetry.

It can be anything: think simplicity.

 

I want to read everyday moments turned into profound thoughts.

 

examples:
