Jack Horne Poet Etheree

Touch Me - Monday

It’s,
That time.
Zombie like,
I cold shower,
Gulp down breakfast and
Dress. I’m late and run for 
The Bus (full of noisy school 
Kids). I’m stuck in traffic with a 
Headache! At work, I apologise:
Monday morning blues before nine o’clock.

Think my watch has stopped, time is standing still.
Wonder why weekends go in a flash;
Work days drag on like time torture.
Yawning, bored, hungry for lunch,
Hot, thirsty, lethargic,
I splash cold water
On my face. Then
I see her 
Text, and
Grin.

Jack Horne

I love the way you took us through your Monday, waking up "zombie-like" and proceding through the tiring day until you see her face and then your spirits turn around. A new fave for me.

Francine Roberts April 20, 2011 at 10:55 PM good luck in the contest Jack, Mondays are often my day off so I don't relate to them the same as most people do,

Black Eyed Susan April 20, 2011 at 4:49 PM You make this form look easy! I like how you set the mood from the beginning - it really makes the end powerful. Isn't funny how one small thing can change everything? You did a nice job portraying this. Good luck in the contest!
