Mires Of Excuses Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Mires Of Excuses



Sharing hours with a friend, trying to be helpful and he
won't let me.

Putting me off, in mires of excuses, as he loses sleep
over non-existent problems.

Actually causing his own misfortunes, daily refusing help,
he can do it better on his own.

Now, sitting here, trying to keep his eyes open and hold
his head up, sleep overtakes him and he's asleep at his
desk again.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Again, my friend, the teacher, falling asleep while I grade papers. Always, filling his schedule with appointments to give talks in many different venues, not able to say 'no' to anyone asking for his time.
This is what inspired this poem.
