Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Visitor We Never Want To See Again

I have the day planned. 
A picnic. The planetarium. Meeting friends for dinner.
The phone rings.
Bam!
Death in the family

Plans mean nothing now
The unplanned has taken over 
The unplanned has changed my emotions
And ruined the day

Death
The unexpected
Visitor
We never want to see
