Laborer

Standard

ergonomic in style 

tremendous worries lifted

while stress

burrows away

beyond recognition 

never, smaller

taller, wider

thinner than needed

postures ready

steadier from before

as a reminder 

to the preparer

bringing today’s labor

egar and more comfortable 

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Something 

Standard

the exhilaration 

of the potential 

maybe relief

then something 

reminds us

of events 

feelings expressed 

implicitly or explicitly 

that there are

objectives missed

for self preservation 

of actual emotions 

scene amongst 

layers of innuendos

hiding the pain

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Pivotal 

Standard

an area

that centers 

us all

on the creation 

of oral traditions 

soon transcribed 

for select scholars 

and those interested 

piece together 

the histories

though with

year separated

from the beginning 

only the pivotal 

features remain 

minus the backstory 

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Focus

Standard

focus remains 

finding the ability 

to know

by separating

feelings combined 

to respond appropriately 

in the situation 

for each interaction

should in a sense

be like the initial 

first impression 

everything required 

-Jennie Nawrocki 

When Everything 

Standard

loss for words

when everything 

piled daily 

retains responses

not as they 

should be

though completely 

well intended

to begin with

most likely 

huge mistakes

impossible to change

the consequences 

to follow 

even with 

sorrow and remorse

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Simply Happy 

Standard

the cover

is of

their feelings 

how to change

mend such brokenness 

emotionally high

from misunderstandings

struggling with

things thought

trying to hold

onto differences

between every

wants, wishes

reality,  needs

of all involved 

how to see again

many more people 

are simply happy

-Jennie Nawrocki
