An Email Poem by LeeAnn Azzopardi

I got an email this morning
Or I got it last night
When I decided to pack in my computer
It was from Academy of American Poets
They had their weekly suggestions on the theme
Of summer vacation
I know everything slows down in the summer
But I am always on vacation
Unemployable or should I say disabled
I am starting to get bored
As I should take a walk with the dog
But it's too late
And the dog is old and might get sick
Oh well, I might as well take a nap
Because I am finished with my chores
