A Bad Day All Around
I determined to take seize
of a lightning bolt! Paused
at every tree. Flashed and
thundered all about – stood
by every metal post, just
to see if God wanted me.
Went to the nearest church…
prayed for a voice or sign:
and from behind the altar
heard a gulping sound,
pastor draining the sacrament
wine. Not a good day.

a bad day
If I could cut off my feet, would it get any worse?
Yesterday a thief stole my favorite purse
It had my I.D., everything but my keys
Arthritis in my ankles and in my knees
I stumble and hobble as I try to walk
My deranged parrot has an annoying squawk
my husband has left me and taken the keys
I curse

A Bad Day For Todd
Not all poems are happy
Some are sad and some are sappy
This poem is so odd
It's about a boy whose name was Todd
Todd has hair that is very ginger
He wears a ring right on his finger
His skin is so so soft and fair
He wears sunglasses everywhere
Today Todd's day was awfully horrid
He woke up and he burnt

Hello Sailor
Sailing solo is unsafe
and it's not much fun
one winds up talking to oneself
before the day is done
but a bad day on the water
or so someone said
beats a good day at the office
(and I would know)
snug in my bunk bed
so gentlemen here's a tip for you
as all good sailors do
(when they want to wee believe you

When you having bad day
When the world hates you
It's such a lonely place
Crawling out of bed each day
Forgotten in each and every way
Grasping at straws to build nest
Every minute is a torturing test
Blow away by unkindness
Held together buy a fine web
Of sorrow and unhappiness
Each word thrown your way
Cut like a knife through softened clay
Leaving a scar and empty space
Not

On a Sad Day, On a Bad Day
On a sad day, on a bad day, sun was bright
I went out for a walk, round the block
Everything looked the same in the light
Not a single orange vest, no road work
Passed the houses and church down the street
Then I took a left turn to embankment
Passed the linden alley smelling so sweet
Up the

A bad day
Having a bad day blur's the ability
of one's mindset to function.
Heartbreak compared to thy
of a relationship is underrated when
compared to thy
relative to education.
Pain and sorrow
beholds thee
who is educationally suffering.
Tear's find a stream in one's injured heart,
and all faith shatters, because of a single mistake,
A single ignorance.
Hail, oh hail good lord
Whom is remembered,

RUINED WEDDING
True love, she's always seeking.
Broke up not too long
Find another who truly loves her
Proposed to her that same year
She's ready, to let go of her past
She was absolutely happy, It's her wedding day
The long waited day, unknowingly to her it's a bad day.
It's her ex
Coming for revenge
Holding unto offense
Ready to defend without pretense

Bad day at Stop And Shop
Jack had just escaped the local slammer
He’d struck the sheriff's car with a hammer.
He tried to look normal, in an aisle in Stop and Shop
But he wondered who might be an undercover cop.
Sally was unhappy, by the baked goods she would go
She wondered about her past, did other shoppers know?
An embarrassing movie, gone

Bad Day
I had a bad day
yesterday
trying my best to put
it aside and put
my happy face on
but it seems to be gone
I'll start with a smile
and go the extra mile
to put aside dark thoughts
and do what I ought
and try to make today
a good day!

I'm Having a Bad Day
I just lost my job
My girlfriend called me a slob
Where are my car keys?
My phone keeps ringing
My canary stopped singing
Still can't find my keys
My neighbors stoned me
And my parents disowned me
I guess I'm walking

Bad day
What come over me today,
Really low is all I'll say,
Waking up late wrong side of bed,
That's all rubbish as it's all in my head.
It all leads back to that awful day,
My loving partner passing away,
The hurt the pain the going insane ,
It's all the mixed thoughts going on in my

ON A BAD DAY
By Leon Enriquez
To know the way
True purpose seek
As truth now plays
When vision peaks
Pique your own think
In fruitage ripe
The right verge brink
Hides in sad gripe
~~~~~~~~~
When people see you
In a bad light
Unleash and do
What creates right
In tint and hue
Your true colours
Paint and mint cues
In pure flavours
~~~~~~~~~
Your hue and cry
Creates new sights
For as

Bad Day Moon
Cats go out then cry to come in.
A runt-end of shade wilts.
We feel the pull of a Lunar tide,
sense the off-center mewing,
of a dissonant aria.
Trembling dogs hide their body-bones.
The air is strained through fisheyes.
A clammy light gnaws,
while white-faced mice scurry
on twilit paws.
There will be an end of sorts,
a draining away. First, there must be,
this ailing
