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.

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.

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

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
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

Weary Words
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.
That Monday Feeling
Scrap #1
A dying sparrow under stars
just wondering who and what we are
asking all the right questions only
before the lights go out

Update
Hi, folks,
Little update on the site, I’ll be throwing on some more of my work here in the next coming weeks (poem scraps, short stories, etc) again. Getting back to the old way of doing things. Probably add in a little chronic illness humor to go in with my general disdain for everything Monday as well.
As always, I hope your Monday flies on by and that you’ve got something cold and on the rocks waiting for you when you get home tonight.
