Touch Me - Monday

It’s, That time. Zombie like, I cold shower, Gulp down breakfast and Dress. I’m late and run for The Bus (full of noisy school Kids). I’m stuck in traffic with a Headache! At work, I apologise: Monday morning blues before nine o’clock. Think my watch has stopped, time is standing still. Wonder why weekends go in a flash; Work days drag on like time torture. Yawning, bored, hungry for lunch, Hot, thirsty, lethargic, I splash cold water On my face. Then I see her Text, and Grin. Jack Horne

Must have missed this while I was away, Jack. I love the way you took us through your Monday, waking up "zombie-like" and proceding through the tiring day until you see her face and then your spirits turn around. A new fave for me. Congratulations on your win in Nette's contest! Love, Carolyn

You make this form look easy! I like how you set the mood from the beginning - it really makes the end powerful. Isn't funny how one small thing can change everything? You did a nice job portraying this. Good luck in the contest!
