Someone
Sweep those cares under the stairs
Sew more cushions for those chairs
Sweet words flow at all times
Soft golden voice like beautiful chimes
Sweetly greeted at every turn
Smoke avoids you as fires burn
Sought after by those near and far
So many always care how you are
Slowly dancing to everyone’s beat
Successfully avoiding the kitchen’s heat
Sultry dances bring you no shame
Subtly taking credit for another’s fame
Step to the side for another—never
Stake your claim, bold as ever
Send another to pay your penance
Starlets never fulfill their sentence
Stop, world, to behold your queen
She doesn’t know what pain can mean
So how does it feel to be you
Sweetly blessed in all you do
Nobody
Nothing stops you from being the grunt
No one notices, no one will hunt
Naturally, you care more for others than you
Noteworthy accomplishment, no credit due
Name a place and leave yourself behind
Narwhals to love are easier to find
Nom de plum might just earn credit
Normally, you’re the first to edit
No sleep, no worries, no rest for mom
“No” from your mouth, like a bomb
Novice at so much, so much to do
Nine more heavy tasks if you have the flu
No more truth, they give you their lies
Naturally, they still fall into your eyes
Nasty reactions if you don’t feel well
No offer of help if you fell
No one quite grasps all that you do
No use listing it, they’ll claim it untrue
Namesake of none, servant to all
Nobody is the one who will answer the call

More proof that poetry is meant to confuse us, but I had a prompt for poetry and National Poetry Month required that I share my composition. I took it a step further and wrote two.
