"Just Another Ordinary Day" is a poem about how a poet is creative day after day.

This is how his creative juices start out each day.

————

His muse wakes him up

at three in the morning,

when he really wants to stay asleep.

But thoughts pop into his brain

forcing him to wake up,

with no other choice

but to jot them down.

Thus, his day begins

before most people see the light of day,

but he doesn’t mind this routine,

since this is when

his best ideas spark.

While others work 9 to 5,

he climbs back beneath the covers 

and sleeps til noon.

He reads a few poems with his morning juice

when it’s really afternoon,

leaving comments along the way

hoping to help a fellow writer

make it through another day.

Then it’s time to polish his words,

going through his poems one more time 

before clicking the send button

for an editor to view.

Then he takes a break,

before it’s once again time to create

pieces to submit

before the due date.

This endless cycle keeps repeating 

day after day,

as though it’s some sort of magic plan,

but he knows it’s just another ordinary day.
