Notes About The Poem

Now I Lay this Day to Rest

All in gloom the grays and black Dark colors take up the slack It is a bad day I say to myself To justify the acts I put on the shelf Distressing the stress the aim the goal Ending the time the day has stole Shades and curtains play amongst shadows As I settle down in my warm burrows Heavy like rocks on my eye's lid Telling this bad day you've been outbid.
