Looking like a modern-day snow white
My name is Karen Middleton I am a performance poet from the North east I have 6 poetry books published. I also love writing short stories I look forward to seeing the results.
The Window Seat
Ticking, all the right boxes,
Flicking, through the pages,
Auditioning,
For the role of book worm,
On a mission,
Turning pages,
Seeking reason, reading from centre stages.
Potentially, reading on the window seat
Now she is residing, hiding,
Wrapped up finding her purpose,
Waiting until motivation peaks
This month, this moment, this week.
Remembering incentives,
The source, the provocation, the basis,
Stopping, selecting, marking pages
Keeping places, with bookmark, an indication.
To mark her place
To locate in case inspiration breaks
Another brainwave,
Another creative creating, another creation,
Looking like a modern-day snow white
A basket of clothes at her feet
Did she carry on writing
Or did she fold the clothes
Well ,you’re listing to a poem.
Karen Middleton, North East England
