Emile Pinet Poet Sonnet

Rainy Days And Mondays

Somber skies sully an overcast day,
effectively dragging my spirits down.
And especially so on a Monday,
as my smile tends to flip into a frown.

The stinging droplets burn like acid tears,
trickling down my cheeks as I walk to work.
And on Mondays, those drops morph into spears
as I prod ahead, acting like a jerk.

It's strange; on other days without sunlight,
I don't get as upset about the rain.
But on a Monday, it just doesn't feel right;
like I'm enduring a self-imposed pain.

I don't pretend to know why this should be,
but rainy days and Mondays sadden me.

Marc Acrich March 16, 2018 at 12:10 PM I like the poem because it straight for words in English that I can understand  None of that deep stuff that leaves me with a big ugh

Gershon Wolf February 28, 2018 at 10:04 AM I sure identified with this theme; I feel exactly the same way...Reminiscent of the Carpenters hit song from the 1970's, "Rainy Days and Mondays." If you've never heard it, google it. I imagine that you'd really enjoy it...Congrats on this trophy winner, Emile! Emile Pinet February 28, 2018 at 10:20 AM Thank you Gershon, I appreciate your comments and support my friend, Emile.

Mark Miller February 24, 2018 at 4:04 PM It is a very nice poem. The imagery hit me and I was in Monday. " In Monday"-Ha. I felt it. that is true poetry. but what is all this rule shit. Art itself means against rules. So if you don't rebel are you an artist? Now this is good, but your a conformity generator, and trust me I know your not. We're all diversity generators. I'm trying to WAKE EVERYONE UP!. Though ...I'm not optimistic. People are scared to be thrown out to the out-group. But this is the journey. Change title-fuck Mondays! Emile Pinet February 25, 2018 at 9:46 AM Thanks Mark, I appreciate your support and comments my friend, Emile.
