Office Poems – C & K

Green

plants in the office
reaching for the pinnacle
watching the plants die
the boss wants to have a word
the colour green is too much

Walking through the office door
Me, out there in the swirling autumn leaves
Inside, a new mask for today

Trading nature and her beauty
for the chance to find meaning in a title
I feel the wind in my hair

Nature followed me
wind and leaves moving
Bewildered colleagues

Pink files surround me,
humidity on the breeze,
the overcast sky.
Sitting at my desk feeling
the winds of change are flowing.

My Week

At present, we are waiting for the humidity to break. I hope for the Autumn change to arrive.

I’ve been surrounded by pink files all week. You don’t know the stress involved in Property Law and Conveyancing until you experience the work.

It has been an intense week, which usually leaves me with nothing left by Friday night.

Add watching the war crimes in Ukraine, and I’m ready to leave my computer for a while and lay down.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and read my words.

your sadness drips
onto the floor to pool
in shadows and soak into
the fabric of the building

once there, it stays
unable to dissipate until
others’ happiness does the same

How odd that you
reside in a building
unable to balance emotions

Digital roads
lead you along.
No one said you would lose
part of your heart in the bandwidth.

Your sadness drips onto the floor, to pool in shadows and soak into the fabric of the building.

Once there, it sits unable to dissipate until others’ happiness does the same.

How odd that you reside in a building unable to balance emotions.
