Just a harmless vent…if I don’t get my quiet time, I get a bit cranky! LOL!
Why do my shoes Hurt on my feet? Why are my clothes Wrinkled from heat? Why is my ear Stuffed with earwax? Why is my hair Now such a mess? I’ll tell you why As best I know how I’ve worked all day long-- I'm tired now No bus came for hours Walked seven miles home-- In linen and silk, No time for a comb. Used a headset All day at work Now I've got wax-- Ears pop--head jerks! So what? you say. Why should you care? This poem has no point-- A vent to share? And you are correct! No point I will make ‘Cept I’m tired of work Routines that are fake They cause me to struggle Strain hard and curse-- To retain my vigor.. To find the right purse! But now's my day off! I’ll love and live free And I'll rest my spirit-- I’ll live just for me.

I love this...your poem does sum up the working world, our days off help us to revive and get to know ourselves again. It is kind of funny I was sitting here thinking about how much I appreciate my days off, no rushing, no running out the door, no traffic to beat, just my time...I have to have it too. Great write...I loved it...
Blessings,
Joyce Bowling

Ah, everyday life. You're poem sums it up. It is our days off that help us stick with the rigor of daily demands.

At sunrise or sunset, it's always the same...the water becomes Nature's reflective surface...and we see more than we could ever have imagined!

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.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
