    My Day

    You ask "How are you?"
    And I wonder
    if I were to answer truthfully
    and say
    that it has been an ugly day--
    Would you be uncomfortable
    in learning the truth?
    of how
    very ugly it is
    inside today?
    And then I would wonder
    at the question in your glance
    for we both know that the
    sun is shining.
    Truthfully,
    you now wish you never asked.
    And I wonder no more
    and answer
    "I am well, thank you".

    I am seriously impressed. These are really good...really good.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
