A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 215

Day 215: “Co-Author”

If you ever need a laugh,

Ask your partner for help

I said my brain was tired and I needed help

coming up with today’s poem

Please enjoy this poem à la Jeremy

“It’s bright outside

It makes me light

inside

So much that I can glide

And that also gives me pride

This is the best poem ever

You couldn’t even pull it with a lever”

It did make me laugh

It did make me smile

But perhaps poetry really isn’t for everybody

“You know you really shouldn’t talk about yourself like that”

Day 213: “Early Night”

I swore I’d go to bed earlier today

But I got home from work

Had to decompress

And hours later

Then I got it back on track

I planned

I cooked

I worked out

Then I had to shower

Get ready for bed

By the time I laid down

To write this poem

It was after 1 am

While definitely not an early night

I guess that’s early in the day

I swear I’ll try again tomorrow

of what others have accomplished

What freedom they have

Financial

Creative

And otherwise

I’d love to have the freedom to do whatever I want

Be whoever I want

Like truly

Wouldn’t we all?

Why can’t we have that?

What do we have to do to have that?

I’m actually asking

Because, believe me,

I’m trying
