[stylist] Another 40 word poem and note...

[Jacobson, Shawn D]

Well, as the card player's saying goes, see one, play one.

Shawn

A slow day at the office

Wishing I were busy, this respite is not welcome,
Seeking usefulness, the day drags on.
Seeking, questing, reaching for purpose
A reason for being, a reason for being here now.
But this to will pass, and soon, I will seek rest.

Thank you Shawn!  I rather like this one myself..  as I said I did struggle 
at first because I approached it in the wrong way but I  found what I 
wanted to say finally..

The other night I was sort of challenged to write a 40   word poem about 
'laughter'.  I can't remember who exactly issued  the  challenge and I do 
apologize for that. I did try.. and to be  honest I was almost  stumped at 
first.  
But here is what I came  up with... very simply said  but quite 
introspective 
if I am being  honest.

Laughter

I  tuck them away,
each giggle and  almost
unheard chuckle, every  belly
jiggle and each Jello  guffaw,
every snort and snicker,
and whoosh  of plucked  tissues
to absorb merriment's tears...
because sometimes what I   need
most to remember is... laughter.
