Monday



She doesn't want to get up
She doesn't want to go
School is bad
She cries as she repeats
I don't want to go                                               

Her mom tries to soothe
Her, her dad gets fed up
He leaves for work

She forces her daughter
To get dressed and go to school
The TV is  turned up high
So she doesn't hear
The muffled crying as
Her daughter gets dressed

An army goes down
The stairway
All the way down
Swearing he'll be late
Again

One wakes slowly
She goes nowhere
Her husband goes
She's uneasy
It's the beginning
Again

I use to love Mondays

    Awesome poem and wonderful photo ... love both!
    Monday has always been my least favorite day of the week (because my mom and dad both died on a Monday)
    But as a child I loved Mondays as my mom always sang me a little song try and wake me up for school ...
    This Monday, I am totally dragging my feet and just want to go back to bed , though ... too much on my 'to do list' LOL

    I wish you a most lovely Monday dear Lorraine

    Lots of love
    xo xo

    Good portrayal of the beginning of another week
    The writing: great insightful observations, as if listing to neighbors through thin walls..
    The photo: the end of the path looks so long, only on a Monday. It is shorter, I’m sure, by the end of the week. But what a beautiful trail to be taking on such a wonderful winter day.

    __First *He leaves for work*
    __later *Swearing he'll be late for work again*
    __finally *Her husband goes*

    Boy! I'm glad the *problem* finally left, to allow all things to take the proper steps.

    very visually appealing poem - i could kind of see all that you wrote - ...my mom would come in and tell my sister and me - get up sisters ugly - you'll be late for school - of course we knew she was teasing or we hoped she was, lol. Love the photo.

    What a beautiful photograph and wonderful poem. Definitely captures a lack of desire to leave, which I often have... Very moving dear Lorraine.

    Oh the similarities in life that continue to pop up along the way.
    I too did not enjoy school....on any day! From first day in primary I didn't like it one little bit!
    So, what did I become when I 'grew up'? A TEACHER!! Go figure!! lol
