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
