Zen

I come home from work
in the evening, and my wife
is standing at the kitchen counter
putting a covered dish
in the microwave
with her back to me.

"Did you have a good day?"
I ask automatically.

She surprises me by
half turning toward me,
just enough so I can see
the annoyed look on her face.
Then she goes back to her work.

"I don't think of them as good or bad,"
she says over her shoulder.
"I think of them as days."

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.

Beside Still Waters by Jill Eisnaugle

Each person is but a grain of sand resting beside the sea. This thought sets the tone for Jill Eisnaugle’s latest poetry collection, Beside Still Waters.
