Monday Blues


why does it
have to be
this lonely
a Monday blue
of you not here
five o’clock
appointments missed
maybe I
should have
known better
and maybe I
misunderstood for
words can be
so complicated
and I never
ask you
for anything
not even
to promise
but such is
the way that
the sun caresses
how it’s touches
burns me
but that too
will fade
and there was
a house
high on a hill
but the water
there too
was held coldly
at bay
so it too just
flowed by

A song always comes to mind..'rainy days and Mondays always get me down'....yeah, I really felt what you wrote, and wrote very well, I might add!  ~S~

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life

This is a good piece, and I enjoyed it, but I think it needs a little polishing. There is one specific (and in my opinion EASY) thing to do that would make worlds of difference. The main problem I have with this piece is it runs together. It's like one big run-on sentance.

My suggestion is thus--put some line breaks in it. Put some pauses in to let the reader know when you've shifted images. It would make the piece much better.

I believe the most important component of a poem is rhythm. Rhythm is the heartbeat of a poem. It is what makes poetry poetry.

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
