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.

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.

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.
