A mother walks in
Into a room
Where her son has slept
Till the afternoon

She looks to the floor
And there she sees
A mess of clothing
And books and games

She looks all about
When she can’t take any more
She starts to get cleaning
A gigantic chore

She wonders in awe
How this room is like this
How such a good boy
Could make such a mess

She looks all around
When she is through
But she knows
Just what he will do

He will go on sleeping
And playing and reading
And leaving all his stuff
For her to clean

I really like the subject matter. People usually don't think about the mother's point of view and it is creative. It also has a moral. My biggest thing is word choice. I think you could use better vocabulary like instead of sleeping put snoozing (just an example.) Good job overall though.
