Tonight's Poet Corner: Sonnet Solstice #258
She Quit Her Job by Belinda Roddie She quit her job and bought a pack of smokes before hopping on her red bicycle, but something rough got all caught in the spokes, so she lost her balance and then she fell, hitting her head. Luckily, she was fine, though her family wasn't very fond of her coming home for a bit of time while she looked at job options. Near the pond, she'd settle down in the mornings to watch the ducks swim and the reeds sway in the wind. Why did she leave her career? It was not easy, but she felt like she was trapped in a cage of her making, and now she was glad to have left, because she was free.
