Kay Ryan is the Poet Laureate of the United States, and she has some incredible work to her name. Here's one of my favourite of her poems, called Bad Day:
Not every day
is a good day
for the elfin tailor.
Some days
the stolen cloth
reveals what it
was made for:
a handsome weskit
or the jerkin
of an elfin sailor.
Other days
the tailor
sees a jacket
in his mind
and sets about
to find the fabric.
But some days
neither the idea
nor the material
presents itself;
and these are
the hard days
for the tailor elf.
We've all been there, tailor elf.
