Concentrate Poem by John A'Hern

Check on daily tasks for today
Coast all clear moves into man cave,
Look around and check surroundings
Take deep breaths and sit at desk
Mind goes blank at your first request.
Stare through window that is a living canvas
Watching birds go through their actions,
Parrots land and squabble over tree positions.
Realise that your eyes have taken control
Snap out of a daydream and follow word flow.
Voices approaching, Wife has girlfriend visitors
Close the door before they see you.
Switch on computer it will not join you today
Refuses to boot much to your dismay,
Boot being the word you think of at that moment
The computer that is, as far as you can boot it.
Technology is a wonderful thing, switch it off then on again
Whirr, clunk, it spins into action
Words now flow, bringing satisfaction,
For several minutes, you are lost in Poetry land.
Satisfied with your efforts today
Walk out of office and into the fray,
Sit with wife's friends enjoying a coffee,
I always have a smile on my face these days.
