Otherwise (Poem)

Otherwise Poem

By M'onique Hutchinson

I woke up this morning

Not wanting to exercise

It might have been

Otherwise, I did my

Daily routine of praying, making my

Favorite green organic

Smoothies with blueberries,

Mango, apples and flaxseed.

This might have been

The best one otherwise.

At 7:30, my sister’s dog

Sat at the bathroom door.

I knew what he wanted

Otherwise. Why couldn’t

You wait until your

Mother come

Otherwise.

So I put on

My shoes and off we. It

Might have been

It was raining but, yet

He did his do. He

Was the happiest Vishon poodle

On the planet. But this day

Will be happy for me otherwise.
