To give this post more of a point, I'll throw out a poem that I spontaneously composed a couple days ago.
Rotations
Warm bed, alarm beep,
hello cold and goodbye sleep.
Cereal gets soggy wet
talk and eat and browse the net.
Lecture, notes, review, test,
sleepy eyes in need of rest.
Strings, bow, squeaking notes,
frigid air, tight-drawn coats.
Read and notes and notes again,
messy writing, pencil, pen.
Early morning, swimming head,
lose the pen and drop to bed.
Darkness, silence, sudden snore,
few hours rest to rise once more.

Anyway, now that I'm on break, I might be using my blog more. Tot ziens!
I LOVE this poem! It seems to capture our lives so perfectly, and your rhyming is REALLY GOOD! Merry Christmas, and I hope your vacation is more relaxing than this poem.
