Poem Artwork

Working Word Blues…

By: Fee

 

the last line’s been written

the spell check’s all done

the night sky just said

goodbye evening sun

 

wrote commercial words

cash to me they pay

sold an ounce of my soul

just another working day

 

my mind five days rented

to google search the screen

five to six hundred words

some I’ve never seen

 

now my pay pal account

hungry well be fed

poet’s burnt-out mind and heart

are both off to bed….

(((Fee))),

Never any blues when working words. :) Just deadlines and spellchecks and revisions - but you don't have to worry about that. Rest, now. You've earned it!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
