Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

A Bad Day

Once in a while I wish I could dial
The day back to right where it started.
I’d then reconcile with things that did rile
And left me despondently-hearted.

It isn’t the norm but some days just swarm
With episodes rank and annoying
And in such a storm, it’s hard to transform
A dejection into something buoying.

Still, all things must pass and greener the grass
We will spot on our side of the fences.
We’ll relinquish the crass and begin, smooth as glass,
With a fresh start when morning commences.

Andrea Dietrich March 7, 2018 at 3:30 PM Fantastic, Ilene, how you rhymed some less common words that were woven into this poem. I really like this one!!

Paul Callus March 7, 2018 at 2:07 PM We all get those bad days once in a while, but not everyone deals with them the same. In your case you look ahead with a positive mind, Ilene. Enjoyed the poem as a whole, and loved the flow of the rhymes, including internal ones. Regards // paul
