Wash Cycle
Impatient is my wandering mind
For things that can’t be sped
Washing, drying, tick the clock
I lie awake in bed
For things that can’t be sped
Repeat, repeat, repeat
I lie awake in bed
Thoughts tumbling in my head
Repeat, repeat, repeat
Each morn, each day, each week
Thoughts tumbling in my head
Clothes in the dryer, then to fold on my bed
Each morn, each day, each week
Washing, drying, tick the clock
Clothes and cups and hair
Impatient is my wandering mind

I love how the phrases repeat and tumble out of rhyme!
This really does tumble! Nice set for a poem.
As others have said, that tumbling of lines is perfect for the poem. Great choices all around!
Yep to the tumbling!
Love that 3rd stanza!
Yes! All your writing choices complement each other so well here.
Another great example of form and content coming together to create a strong and resonant rhetoric!
