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!!
   

Written for a prompt by Mary at Poetry Jam!

    I really, REALLY like this poem, Arushi. It made me smile. And you have spoken truth indeed. I like the way you have expressed the freedom a person has who lives alone.

    (Beginning to FOLLOW your blog. I enjoy your style.)

    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!

    when you are alone you do get to make the rules...and do as you please...that is for sure...and it sounds like you embrace it...that is a good thing...alone can be so uncomfortable for some...and i love the song love song...smiles.

    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!
