EON has sent me the wrong bill again,
thus, it becomes the source of strain,
wanting to burn their office block down,
to take away the need to wear a frown,
then the rain adds to the “complaint”,
but then I see that dome of restraint,
my nightmare ceases, replaced by glorious truth,
via the pitter-patter on the conservatory roof.
I check my email, but nothing’s there,
no reward for my interest, it isn’t fair,
so, I think of massacre; to those employers,
who choose to ignore, they desist like lawyers,
as my fire rises, clouds cascade once more,
to remind me, of a soon to be open door,
thus, I try to be level-headed, and use it as proof,
via the pitter-patter on the conservatory roof.
The radio and the box, blare out more dirt,
either it be Covid/Brexit, all things that hurt,
where is that hammer? So, I can vent, by smashing,
at a world that has me; and my teeth gnashing,
but again, the weather modifies, to make me calm,
instead of a clenched fist, I open to a peaceful palm,
though a change is still needed, I will retire to that booth,
to enjoy the relaxing pitter-patter; on the conservatory roof!

- Comment from author about the poem: Sometimes things enrage us, and we say things rather macabre in the heat of the moment. I live in the UK, and in the past couple of days, the habitual changing weather has been like my mood sometimes, but then I remember a simple tool that I have used, in order to calm down. Sitting in my conservatory; and just listening to the relaxing pitter-patter of the rain upon it's roof. The accompanying cover picture, is what I feel like after a "conservatory session". To me this works wonders sometimes, but I am curious, what do all of you do to calm down? I hope that you enjoy the poem, and as always, please stay safe everyone.

I can understand where you come from Ben,I too have a conservatory roof and am often found in there but my choice of relaxation is music, I listen to it all the time, especially in the evenings before I go to bed.

Thanks for the read Andy, and I am glad to hear that you are fellow conservatory person.
I too on some nights; relax via some nice soothing tunes as well, but if the rain does occur, and the power happens to go out, the sound of that pitter-patter can be quite the thing.
Thanks again, and I hope that all is well!
Good write AP.
Thanks for the read orchidee, and I hope that all is well!
All these bleeders wiv conservatories.... Wait 'til I get their addresses...
Point well made AS - too many things to get riled up about in life; so chill (After I've sorted them conservatories....)
Thanks for the read Doggerel Dave, and I will from now on, consider myself a "conservatory bleeder!" Haha!
Yes, there are so many things that get us riled up, but I hope as part of our evolution, that over time, endeavouring to minimise those things; becomes a second nature.
As you've said, I will try to chill, and good luck sorting out those conservatories. Haha!
Thanks again, and I hope that all is well!
Nah - I's me that should chill, AS. But there will be no escape...my patented heat seeking missile will find you in the end.... 😊
