A Week in Rhyme

SUNDAY

Slow down Sunday so they say
A seventh day of rest
Dallying doing handiwork
Minor borderlines at best

Early risers on the fairway
Swing away to hearts desire
Sweet spot strikes a perfect shot
Sunday’s handicap's conspire

Church bells join in singing
Special breakfasts on the go
Perusing gardens in the Sunday air
Bibs and tuckers out on show

Maybe bake a cake or pudding
Enjoyed with lunchtime wine
Take a walk about the village scene
Let ticking over realign 

MONDAY

Someone said it's Monday
It gave me quite a jolt
So much so I gulped my coffee
As though I'd swilled a thunderbolt

Monday morning feelings can
Pour darkness on my gloom
Send me back to front my demons
Beneath the sheets in my bedroom

I know I can get over it
I am a Monday morning Brave
Five more cups of coffee
Then maybe surf the seasick wave

TUESDAY

Tuesday slips in quietly
Not making any fuss
Not a day for changing things
Not bad enough to cuss

Tuesday doesn't matter much
Not a day for nights in town
Not a day for too much pressure
Not a day for staring down

Tuesday never makes a start
Not a day for start anew
Not a day for noticing
Not a day to not get through

WEDNESDAY

Something ‘when’ about a Wednesday
A day for mending wending ways
Caught between whenever endings
That once were early closing days

When middle days stuck in between
Arrive in either neither settings
One wonders when we are ‘til then
Between the comings and go getting’s

Take care when meddling middling’s
Remember half way’s far from done
Approach with care and breath to spare
For other halves are tough to run

THURSDAY

Thursday cool and comforting
Anticipating after hours
Maybe pop-in have a cocktail
Sense the rising of one's powers

Late night shopping can be tempting
With needs and wants in mind
A weekend wish preempting
To leave a humdrum day behind

Ignore the rush of rush-hour trains
Get a coffee take a seat
Catch the style of buffet people
A Thursday place to meet

FRIDAY

Friday isn’t Friday yet
Until the afternoon
When all last minute must do’s
Are no longer table-strewn

Tidied up and stashed in drawers
The stumped and do next week’s
Thoughts of being in control
A weekend full of aimless peaks

Our Friday friend is standing by
To opens doors on our way out
To breathe the air of devil may care
As we repair to showing out

SATURDAY

Saturday sitting by my steaming cup
Letting my mind drift free
Enjoying the morning freshness
Downing my first of three

It’s good when Saturdays like this
Allow the time to pass by me
No fuss no rush at my own pace
Quiet movements by degree

On icy morning Saturdays
Patterned window art debris
Begins to trickle and evaporate
With aftertaste of my last tea
