Monday Mourning
by lassymac
The sun saunters in
beyond the ‘no trespassing’ sign,
crawls into bed with me
despite the blinds,
and warms your spot
already cooled and disappeared.
I turn and face
the glare of what’s to come
with the weekend recorded thickly on
my tongue–
a film set in the desert,
bacon sputtering under hot studio lights,
breakfast burning freckles
into recently discovered flesh,
freshly opened, just beginning
to expire.
It’s monday again;
the weekend will be kept
on ice.
Beautifully reflective writing, Laura, it appeals to me so much.
Thank You.
Best Wishes

Another good’n, Laura.

I love the imagery! What a great take on it. 🙂
Thanks for visiting!
I really liked this! I also wrote the sun as an intruder. It really appeals to me. And congrats on being featured at NaPoWriMo!
Not the most stealthy intruder but definitely but an intruder nonetheless!! Thanks!
Beautifully done. #LoveandInk

ugh.
Good to see your piece featured Laura. Everything about this is fresh…well, except for all the weekend spoils…but that was fresh too, if you know what I mean:)
Thanks, Angie!
You were the featured poet on NaPoWriMo today!!! Much-deserved. Congratulations, Laura.
Thanks!! My 15 minutes came and went and I am still sitting behind my computer screen with no make-up on. How I love the life of a blogger!
Ha. They’ll never know. Nor do they care. Poets only notice your feet!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Well done!
Thanks!
oh what a wonderfully vivid description of waking on a Monday morning. Brilliant piece, and congrats on being the NaPoWriMo highlighted poet!
Thanks! And I really enjoyed your everything-that-coffee-isn’t poem. Though I will maintain (and perhaps you’ll agree) that coffee really is the end-all-be-all.
*be-all end-all. Clearly I’m short a cup today.
Stunning images!
Thank you!
Really like the imagery. The weekend recorded thickly on the tongue and the bacon grease splattering freckles on your skin. Love it.
Thanks for reading!
Wonderful writing! Congratulations on being yesterday’s featured artist.
