Together Now

This thought is DOPE
Diversity
is what we hope’s
the recipe
Put it all in
and we all win
More thoughts are caught


Put Me In Coach

I’ll be DIRECT
How was your day
As you expect
two things to say
That’s great but this
you'll need to fix
How grand’s your plan

Inspired by Kate‘s poems about the Leadership Training her employer had her take posted at anotherkatewilson, and urged on by her, I wrote these ha’sonnets about the Leadership Training my employer had me take. Thanks, Kate!
