If Today Is Friday

If today is Friday, joy's on stage Emerging from feeble phase Roaming happily all day For a freedom filled weekend When family reigns supreme Seeking relief from drudgery. If today is Friday, thrill's on horizon Determined to have fun Showing off a budding date Conversing in crowded settings With evening made of dreams, Stealing kisses with every sip. If today is Friday, all is worry free With vibes made of pleasantries And eyes searching happy places Finding ephemeral feelings Ringing inner bells, saying all is well. If today is Friday, it writes own lyrics In special themes of merry verses Composing fervent music Of romantic rhythm and melodies Fending off pensive memories. If today is Friday, opulent smiles Dance the night till day break Cheering newfound friendships Looking forward to next weekend Holding treasures gained Reminiscing transitory moments. February 25, 2018 Friday feeling contest by Silent One

All of us look forward to weekends after the drudgery of office work to spend time with family, plan outings and enjoy some happy private moments. "If today is Friday, it writes own lyrics/ In special themes of merry verses".... Beautiful lines ! Lovely poem.

Love that repeating line, Vijay, works well as the title. Congratulations on your placement. If I had to pick a favorite stanza, it would be #4; but they all are excellent small vignettes.

WoW! This is some straight-up beautiful poetry, Vijay. The imagery feelings expressed are supremely universal. We've all felt this way, sometime or another, when the weekend ushered in. A very humane picturesque poem. Love and smiles always.
