I am a huge fan of PostSecret, and the picture below is a postcard from a few weeks ago on the site. It spoke to my job hunting frustration, so I decided to base my poem on that frustration. This week’s writing topic will be “Work”. So post your best poem regarding your current job, the job of your dreams, your frustration with unemployment, or find a direction of your own. Post your poems in the comments. Your poem can be short or long, silly or serious, even a haiku. My poem will follow the picture.

i used to hate when people said
“well at least you have a job”
and now that i don’t
i still hate it
i am poor
i am sometimes frustrated
but strangely
the happiest i have ever been
but i
still wish
someone
would call me back
