Listening To Monday's Voice

Monday is a say like no other it has a real spirit of its own for so many, it has real beginnings unsure of its routes yet to be sown Remember the hit 'I don't like Mondays' performed by the Boomtown Rats no less bringing to focus the negativity displayed of this day that brings so much stress Since being retired Mondays different the knowledge of no work on that day a Sunday night no longer an utter dread knowing that this life is here to stay Mondays voice speaks within aloud brings into focus out of your mind listen to this voice being wise using your poetic pen thus signed Despite all I've said on Mondays its 24 hours like all the rest maybe our mind has tricked us just enjoy your Monday for its best (I've been thinking what would Monday have to say to us if that day of the week had a voice? so this is my thoughts considering that very question.)

I have mixed feelings for monday cause being a teen I hv to go to school but yet it's a start of something new. Though I am eager to experience what it's like to be retired. A nice one! Have a great day!:)

Hello Gordon ... I mostly worked on shifts that required 24-7. For me, Mondays could have been any day or night after days off, but the feeling is no different - thank you Gordon - Lindsay

I love Mondays now that I no longer have to work. I retired two years ago. This is such a nice poem Gordon. I love the way you think. Take care. ~Valerie

Yes, Monday, to some, is a day to dread. I'm retired too. I enjoyed teaching, but I didn't always look forward to Monday. Well done, expressive piece, Gordon. Janice

Giving "Monday" a voice. I like that. It is easy to embrace those weekend moments. Dreading *Monday*... we all have. I have learned to enjoy the many blessings of each and every (day). Your thoughts caress softly around me and my heart. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

For retired people like us, Monday is like any other day. For those still working Monday is the start of a laborious week. Enjoyed your brooding on Monday !
