I Am Calmer Than You

_____________________________________

I am immersed in panic buzzing

Am overwhelmed by to-dos not done

Calmer days ahead they assure me

Than(ks) but I’m making calm today’s goal

You remain waiting for peace to come.

A Bumper Sticker Poem

Bumper Sticker Poems – a form I created, inspired by cento and golden shovel poetry, with the following guidelines:

• Using a bumper sticker as inspiration use the words in the bumper sticker as the first word in each line of the poem
• The theme of the poem may or may not have anything to do with the message of the sticker

• Title should be the words of the bumper sticker
• May or may not be rhymed
• 9 syllable lines
• Number of lines depends on number of words on the bumper sticker
