MOOD BOARD

 

A Monday poem today, me thinks.

Against the sweet joy of wasting my time,

Your blankets a lover, the pillow's a dream,

But Monday arrives like a cold curdled scream.

The inbox will be bloating, a digital rot,

So crawl from the sheets with a groan and a sigh.

Put on the professional mask, but enter near me with caution, 

Only five days of penance 'til Friday's sweet spark-

Now time to be a rockstar before it gets dark.


How's that for a Monday Mood?
Have a good one everyone.

  7. I've also got loads of cyclamen in flower, many of them seeded from corms my mother gave me. In my turn I have passed some on to my niece.

  14. Nice poem, Mads. I was expecting something along the lines of There once was a man from Nantucket. That's probably just the mood I'm in today.
