David Mohn Poet Free verse

Thursday Again

That old familiar rumble once again has begun
Weekend pulling closer no matter how hard I push
Breathe in… breathe out; stomach burns like the sun
Mom and Dad gearing up for one more bruising run

Trusted closet stands ready for my weekend escape
Ears filled with cotton only muffle the hate
My spirit impaled on the thorns of their pain
Breathe in… breathe out; it’s Thursday again 

Based loosely and somewhat darkly on the Figurative Artiste Stephanie Deshpande  painting "waiting"

Cyndi Macmillan February 26, 2014 at 8:54 PM David, I can't believe I didn't stop by your page to congratulate you! So, first a very very late congrats. Second, hold on to your hat, this has never happened on the soup before, but the artist has blogged about the winners and has added a link on HER page back to these poems... so your work will be appreciated by someone outside of the walls of soup! If you'd like to read more, add comment with the other winners, go to my blog, See blog link top right in corner. Good stuff and great entry!
