In response to secretkeeper.net’s prompt # 151, to use the following 5 words in a poem or fiction.
Tame|Tot|Peak|Rest|Tale
A nonet in response to the above.
(Nonet (9 – 8 – 7 – 6 – 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1) progression downward of syllables)

A tale of many a harried mom
trying in vain to tame her tot
terrible twos, at its peak
temper tantrums cry foul
raging frustrations
yearning for some
me time, to
rest in
peace.
I am sure many moms can relate to this one 🙂
