My latest poem

I thought I would kick off my new blog by composing a spontaneous poem for my first post. Here goes!

Glowing screens hum while flourescent lights thrum;
Coffee revives, though its drippings reside
On my desk in a puddle.
I'm sick of this muddle.

I long to see mountains, streams, lakes -- Aything!
To be less like an office slave, more a bird on the wing!
While these thoughts reach crescendo --
I'm content with my window.

The world I know is a glazed globe,
A curiosity within a kingdom of buildings.
Come to terms with your calling: phones and coffee rings.
My workplace is a multiverse, and nature, a strobe.

I'll start with the regular updates tomorrow!
