when you are having
an awful day


put on your polyanna smile
but dont forget
to hold your
tie
out of the way
of the shredder

You are really good at writing. I love your style of poetry. It's very Kay Ryan-esque with Emily Dickinson meshed in there too. And your mission was accomplished. This definitely made me smile.
