procrastinator’s tableau

procrastinator’s tableau

maybe tomorrow…
plans unrealized
collect dust on shelves
where dreams go to die
waiting for perfect
today spent longing

The Tableau

The Tableau, a poetry form created by Emily Romano in October of 2008, consists of one or more verses, each having six lines. Each line should have five beats. There is no set rhyme scheme, although rhyme may be present. The title should contain the word tableau.

Since the dictionary states the word tableau means picture or representation, the poem should reflect this. A picture should come to mind as the poem is read.

    Thanks Sadje. I think we all have those dreams we push off to “when the time is right”!

      Yes, tomorrow is the day that never comes in this context.
