Somber skies sully an overcast day, effectively dragging my spirits down. Especially if it's on a Monday; when my smiles tend 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; yet I prod ahead, feeling 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 never feels right, it's like I'm inflecting self-imposed pain. I don't really know why this should be, but rainy days and Mondays sadden me.

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

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!

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!

Hi Emile, You've penned a good piece on the contest theme. You describe the feeling of "saddness" one can feel on a rainy day and on Monday very well. Good content and imagery. Congratulations on your 1st place win. It was well deserved:-) Alexis
