A poem about my day, life and business. Enjoy
Just sometimes, I like to write poems. One a decade should do it.
In my pjs, with a nice cup of tea
I get to work, just my pc and me
Curtains are drawn and the house is quite quiet
But up in my head, there’s an adjective riot
Of words and ideas
Of emails and blogs
SEO content – a bit of a slog
My business is writing
It’s grammar and words
It’s reading and edits
The sublime to absurd
Red Bull, Lufthansa
Etihad, too
Jewellers and tech geeks
They know what to do
They send me a brief or a mail quite vague
and my brain conjures up
How to portray
Their sales and ideas — what they want to say
Written and ready, back the words go in
24 hours
… but it’s rarely that slow
Passive and clauses
Punctuation galore
It’s all in my bonce,
Carefully stored
So if you want words to really work hard
Online or offline
I’m in your back yard
