Porch Observations

I sit here
On my ugly porch
(it has multiple cracks)
(and needs pressure washed)
(and painted)
In the dusk
Trying to read

But my book is dull
And my across-the-street neighbor
Is walking
Up and down his driveway

I have observed five trips
So far
But I am also watching my dog
Who has made four rounds of the perimeter

While I have eaten Oreos
So many I lost count

    Interesting text that got me suddenly excited by the end when I read about the Oreos, ahaha!
    Just wanted to react to your other post https://amysappalachia.com/2022/01/24/reality-romance/ but comments were already closed.
    So my point is: you seem to have writing abilities, have you considered writing something about a strong female character ?
    kind regards from Martha
