A poem a day each April, for Katya the Poet's Dew Drop Inn
#1009265 added April 28, 2021 at 7:16am
Restrictions: None
Hump Day
Eloquent god Woden lent his name
to the center of five working days

which seems so ungodly, really, like
loaning shiny pearls to dull dromedaries
unhappy in their slow midweek slag.

One camel cow called Wednesday,
borrowed pearls heavy on her neck
corrals her newborn twin calves close.

Both are middle children, in a sense,
leggy, lanky, humped, and full of woe.
