Rainy Days and Mondays

Still a-bed, early morn Been pouring since the break of dawn. It woke me up, the teeming rain As it strummed against my window pane. Not much daylight there at all, A slate grey sky adorned the squall. A dreary Monday lay ahead, How cosy just to stay in bed. Get up! cried the shrill alarm, A noise devoid of cheer or charm. Under protest, up I get, I've never loved a Monday yet. Entry for Rainy Days And Mondays - Poetry Contest Sponsored by Silent One 20/2/2018. Placed 3rd
