Two Mountains (an original poem by me, Natalie)



In my home
Two mountains tower,
Formidable, daunting,
Hour by hour:

Sort the colors,
Wash, then dry.
Fold, put away,
The first mount is nigh.

Another mount,
Another feat:
Set, eat, clear,
Scrub, dry, repeat.

They vary in size
From small to tall,
But rarely
Never there at all.

I dig and dig;
They grow and grow
Sometimes fast
And sometimes slow.

Sometimes one,
Sometimes the other,
Sometimes
Both of them together.

Mount Dish-everest
Mount St. Laundry
Ever present
For every Mommy.
