That Monday Mood

Stay drunk
stay dreaming
elated and erased

Stay beautiful
stay hopeful
irrelevant and safe.

Don’t Go Quietly Into That Good Morning

Rise
writhe
and riot

We don’t have to settle for
lives of regret
longing
and quiet

We can still
seize
grapple
and grasp

lost tendrils of
hope

the us we
remember

those fleeting shades of
our past.

Mornin’, folks. Looks like Monday is at it again. Still, despite being stuck on that weekly wheel, we don’t have to just go with the grind. Wrote a little something that I hope reminds you that there’s still plenty of time to do what you wanna do and be who you wanna be. That’s right, it’s just a lil’ Monday motivation from the likes of me. Hope you enjoy.

As always: here’s to hoping your day flies right on by and that you’ve got something cold and on the rocks waiting for you when you get home tonight.

I’m Rorschach-ing my
coffee stains
searching
in
spills for signs
if
I’m insane
questioning routines,
the rush,
the strains,
seeking signs of illness
or if
I’m just addicted to
my
pains

Well, it’s Monday again, folks.  Got an early start to this week with a little introspection and a bit of wondering about how to pull myself on through the work week. The answer? Something strong in the morning to get me up and into my day and something even stronger at night to put me down and keep me that way till the cycle starts all over again. Sort of a fail-proof plan, I’d say.

Here’s to hoping that your day flies by and that you have something cold and on the rocks waiting for you when you get home tonight!

Well-Meaning Monday

No good deed goes unpunished
no dreamer finds
the time to sleep
and we of the tender hearts
are only that way from
being beat

Crawling out of our problems
hiking the high road to our
personal hells
digging our own little graves
while we’re busy
digging everyone else’s
shiny little wells

Welcome to Monday, folks. Here’s a little rewrite from 2016 to get your day started. They say the road to hell’s paved with good intentions. Personally, I think that applies to most highways, too. Yet to find someone making an early morning commute who wouldn’t rather be some place they ain’t.

As always: here’s to hoping your day flies right on by and that you’ve got something cold and on the rocks waiting for you when you get home tonight.

When Monday Is Mandatory

Echo back
and break my heart
we were doomed
we were doomed
from the start
from the start

The hobbled horse
the impoverished dark
we were doomed
we were doomed
from the start
from the start

It’s a rut.
The tire dug a hole and
then got stuck.
You can rock it,
forward and reverse,
but grooves manufactured only
make the damned thing
all the worse.

Monday again, folks. Well, I sure as heck can’t keep it another work week from coming, but hopefully I came make it a little better. The poem above is from a few scrap ideas that I’ve enjoyed, and I thought you might like them to. Simple to understand and gets to the point of it, I’d like to think.

If that guy above just isn’t doing the job for ya, maybe checking out my Pintrest will brighten your Monday right on up. You can find it here, and be sure to let me know if you enjoy!

Well, as usual, I hope your day flies by and that you’ve got something cold and on the rocks waiting for you when you get home tonight.

Off To the Races

Face it
We’re all lined up
stuck at the gate
alarms go off and
we chase it

Hounds horses
humans
led by with
jockeys horns
lures

We can accept
love hate it
but in the end
we’re all just
retired worn
jaded.

Another day another dollar, folks. Monday’s come back around the track again but, never fear, I’ve got that little scrap up there and then, of course, a little bit of humor always stuck down here. Hope you enjoyed it and, if you’re looking for something to help you ease off the reigns, be sure to check out my old Monday poems and pintrest board via the links below.

Bitter Whine

Text: the place I visited most this year. Photo: windows background default image

Mornings like this
make me wonder
why I ever
gave
drinking up,

why I traded in
my shot glass
and took up
that
coffee mug.

Shoulda joined
the band at the bar
could’ve been famous
drinking
whiskey all the time,

but I had to go
and get educated so
now all I ever have to
drink
is this bitter whine.

Mornin’, Folks. It’s Monday again, isn’t it? I’ve tried to ignore that fact myself. However, it’s there all the same. Hope this little re-write from 2017 gives you a little something to smile at in the morning.

As for myself, I think I’ll have a bit of chateau de suck-it-up, and try my best to make it through the day 

As always, here’s to hoping your day flies right on by and that you’ve got something cold and on the rocks waiting for you when you get home tonight.

Weary Words

Beggar with a Staff in His Right Hand from the images of Spain album, 69 MET . Wikimedia commons source.

I ask for nothing

save for a place to stay

and if I may not

perhaps

my weary words may

for these words have traveled

beyond their age

and will carry on for miles

beyond my days.


This fun little snippet is somewhat of a personal one – I’ve been writing it on the cover pages of notebooks and journals since my teens (which was a small eon ago). I figured I’d throw something a bit special up for this resurrection post. I’m looking forward to tossing out a few words and connecting with you all some more – don’t forget to check out the collaboration page for my fellow writers out there.

As always, I hope your Monday flies right on by and that you’ve got something cold and on the rocks waiting for you when you get home tonight.
