[writing prompt] Cleaning

Cleaning: Hey, even writers and creative artists have to do housework sometimes. Write about doing laundry, dishes, and other cleaning activities.


As I'm lying down to sleep, disturbing thoughts begin to creep
Inside my head when I try to rest, projecting thoughts that I detest.

The sink is full and so's the rack, sending shivers down my back.
If it's not clean when dawn breaks, it more time that it will take

too much time if you ask me, to clean the mess that wasn't from me.
I hope my husband sees the pile, and lingers for a little while.

He knows that when the sink is clean, his wife will be joyous instead of mean.
That she is relieved that he took the time, to wash the dishes he covered in grime.

She's pleased that know her day can run smooth, that stopping to clean won't throw off her groove.

What an amazing decision her husband has made, to keep something clean, to do her a solid, and no happiness fade.
