All In A Day's Work


deadlines... urgent calls...
stack of papers on my desk
manic day at work

bring it on, i say
opting for vicissitudes
over stagnation

rest entices me 
coffee break is most welcome
all in a day's work

    Hee hee, that desk looks like the desk of the elderly lady I provide home support for - she can turn a small room into a cyclone center in an hour:) Thank heaven for coffee breaks, hey, kiddo?

    I agree that stress may be positive at times...some kinds of stress, anyway. That's where we grow, right?

    One hopes that the work is enjoyed.....even though there is a 'mountain' of it!

    Thanks for participating in Poetry Pantry. I am a bit late in making my rounds! Time for a 'coffee break' now. LOL.
