A 52-week poetic adventure… |
| I wander a foreign land of purple and orange Tripping over arcane metaphors. I fall down a rabbit hole, ending up upended. Cliches shriek: nothing is as it seems! I seek out optimistic Monday: A reliable landmark to anchor dreams. But all I keep meeting is Wednesday With her black umbrella and lace up boots And a grim outlook on life. She directs me a doublecross smile And tells me this is all there is. Turning my book to the next page I find it's blank: ink stains my hands Yet is invisible on paper. Sturdy Thursday approaches. We have far to go together, Standing against forces of anarchy Threatening to dash our cups of tea to bits. Friday joins us, steadfast and loyal A welcome friend to hold the line. Wednesday takes her place alongside Wielding her umbrella as a weapon Against forces far darker than herself. Will I ever find Monday? Only time will tell. 24 lines, free verse. Inspired by the OneRepublic song Dreaming Out Loud. Prompt:  Include the words Monday, Fall, Tea and Book. At least 12 lines No form requirements |
