Mondays

Mondays were school days. Mondays were rule days. Mondays can be cruel days. Sundays make me sing but Mondays bring open books, a crooked look from the boss, leaving crying children with their first strangers. The outlook for Monday might be blue or overly optimistic. Moms love Mondays, circling the day with a fat red marker. Moony-eyed Mondays, for lovers separated by the weekend. Their love-mobile yellow bus, reunites their lips. Shy Mondays hide behind rain clouds, and binders and backpacks, and inside lockers, and behind thick glasses. Fridays make you tingle. Mondays are the starting line. The race is on! You step over the line and yawn and sip coffee with reluctance. Your t-shirt speaks loudly, “I don’t do Mondays!” No one hears you. 7/30/2018 Tania Kitchin’s Contest

Such is how, I believe, most people think of Mondays. I know I do, and I've written a few short poems about it. Many thanks for stopping by. Always nice to hear from you, Kim. / M
