if i could write poetry all day,
and if all poetry could be written in a day,
then,
life as i know would be different,
sometimes life feels too large and vast
like counting each grain of sand in a desert
and sometimes
it taunts like a mirage on a long serene road.
I find repeating tasks
therapeutic,
what’s in washing dishes –
foaming them up,
rubbing, rinsing,
see each and every stain removed,
make me earn a halo?

I can very much relate to this Kitty! 👍😁👌 I too find washing and drying dishes or other menial tasks very therapeutic! 😊

If this poem is about bringing things that are to large and vast back under control then you did it – you found your poetry in the manageable dishwashing. Maybe you can write poetry every day and achieve this more often. It only takes one line at a time.

If washing dishes earned me a halo, I don’t want to think about it.🤣

There is definite a zen in repetition, Kitty…

I find repetition meditative too–but I’d rather not be repeating housework tasks! You are right about the way life expands and contracts. (K)

Household chores because of their nature are often therapeutic. But sadly we are not awarded any halos for mundane jobs like doing dishes.
This resonated deeply, Aishwarya. ❤️

It is a perspective – to look at it as therapeutic instead of annoyance at the chores. I enjoyed your perspective of finding these kinds of tasks soothing and calming.
