Alone!

"Unknown"

I abide by the rules of living alone,
A book in my hand and crumbly sweet scone.
The hot pink colours rule my house,
The scented candles, a vigour arouse...

My curvy red Beetle hoots happily,
Taylor's love song playing loudly!
I can sit in my socks on my porch,
And play the guitar discordant and coarse!

I eat mac and cheese
whenever I please!
I sing aloud,
And dance around!!

What rules? What rules, Are you talking about?
I just make them as I choose my route,
The uphill or the curvy road,
A beautiful drive or a walk Alone!!

  2. I enjoyed the uplifting tone of your poem, seeing you eating mac and cheese and listening to the discordant tune of your guitar! It is indeed fun to choose the rules, or not to have any. This is a wonderful poem, Arushi!

  12. I love the way you have related being alone to being free. I think exactly the same, there's nothing as enjoyable as living on one's own. "What rules?" I love it! I'll hang it on my bedroom wall - I'm not joking! Thank you for this lovely and joyful poem!
