BLUES

For We Write Poems - Wordle










bad day

you must be mad if you think
i’ll have a happy birthday
when i’m feeling so nervous
i could drown in my own sweat
as if things weren’t bad enough
the party you planned for me
is all you talk of lately
why do you obsess yourself
with such trivial matters
what with carbon emissions
glacial meltdown caused by drought
warming the arctic circle
raising global sea levels
all adding to my sorrow

  10. Thanks Mrs. Nesbitt; Sorry to hear about that - just what you don't need on your birthday.
    Hope you had a good one despite that.
