Chore Time

by Jean McKishnie Blewett

In Jean McKishnie Blewett's captivating poem, "Chore Time," the mundane task of chores transforms into an exploration of childhood memories, family dynamics, and the enduring power of love. Through vivid imagery and a nostalgic tone, the poet paints a picture of a childhood filled with both the joys and tediums of household chores. The poem's opening lines, "The floorboards creak beneath bare feet / As we gather, sleepy-eyed," immediately transport the reader to a world of early mornings, shared responsibilities, and the lingering warmth of shared experiences.
