Mess

Mess

Piled high,
wash basket over flowing,
chip packets,
apple core left out to rot.

Floor lost for good,
never to be found,
what is that sticky syrup,
and wheres the air freshener gone?

Old breakfast dishes,
toothbrush in the toilet,
blanket near the window,
to soften his return.

Oh this mess is disgusting ,
that 15 year old boy.

I love the line about the 'blanket softening his return'. Talk about inference - show don't tell! Well done Saf!
