Another Lovely Costa Day

Woke up to my favourite weekday - Wednesday. It´s the day I go to the Torrevieja Writers´Group, of which I´ve been a member for several years.
There were quite a few of us today and it can be a problem to get round all the members and hear what they´ve written. We spent the first hour doing that - today there were more poems than usual. Most people write short stories or are in the throes of a novel and some write articles of different kinds.
I started writing first when I moved to Spain in 2002 and mostly wrote short stories to start off. I then was hit by the poetry bug and write short, sometimes comic, poems. My poems rhyme and I say that with no shame at all.I sometimes have the impression that rhyming poetry is regarded as not quite the thing - as if you´ve really shown an appalling lack of good taste. Ho Hum!
Anyway I read out a couple of short prose pieces and then one of my poems, which I´ll post in a tick. We also had a speaker today, Penny Legg, who has written all kinds of articles in magazines all over the world. I felt quite exhausted listening to her achievments and wished I had a bit of her energy.
It´s actually due to her that I´ve started a blogg. She advised me to start one of my own after reading some stuff I´d posted on the Torrevieja Writers´circle´s own blogg.
Well, this is the poem I wrote for today:

Housewife´s Revolt.

I really don´t feel
Like a 3-course meal
Meat to roast and veggies to peel.

To be quite honest, I´d like a snack
Simple and easy -- no steak to whack.
A soft-boiled egg and a piece of toast
Is what I really fancy most.

So I´ll send the kids to the Pizza Hut
Where they can have an unsupervised gut.
I´ll stay at home and won´t have to cook
Enjoying my egg and reading a book.

After the group finished I came home and joined my husband for a drive out to a bar overlooking the sea where we had a glass of wine and some tapas.
Another Costa day draws to a close.
