A day of rest, a day of play,
A day to keep sadness away.
Drink some good coffee, read a book,
Rest your bones in a secret nook,
Forget the world outside your walls.
It is your day; you make the calls!
Do only what you want to do.
Relax your mind and see it through.
You deserve a day to exist
Without long chores or a work list.
Instead, binge your favorite show,
Eat some junk food and take it slow.
The work will be there when you’re done.
So take today and have some fun!

Erynn Crittenden

Erynn Crittenden has written poetry since she could hold a pen. This love prompted her to earn a BA in Creative Writing, where she learned how to experiment with syllables and styles. Since then, Erynn has self-published three poetry collections (By the Bones, Transfiguration, and Into the Western Sky) through Amazon. She also writes and publishes plenty of individual poems on her website, and her work has appeared in the Talon Literary Magazine, the Beautiful Poetry anthology by Silent Sparks Press, the #AmWriting anthology by the Wayne Foundation, and Life Blood: A Collection of Vampire Tales by Gary Hill. Erynn is also the creator and host of the Present Poetry Podcast, where she reads and celebrates a different poet every week.
