What is writing really like?
Sunday night,
Work tomorrow,
Nervous feeling,
Kind of hollow.
Sunday night,
Resting time done,
Things to sort,
No time for fun.
Sunday night,
Ironing to do,
Plans to make,
Work to look through.
Sunday night,
Struggle to sleep,
Monday looms,
Alarm soon goes ‘BEEP!’
This is how I feel almost every Sunday. The day before I go back to work. I remember I used to start work on Tuesday once and the same apprehension used to take place on a Monday night instead. For another of my poems click here.
Do you ever get that Sunday feeling? After a long working week I just want to kick back and chill on Sundays. I want to devour roast dinners and watch plenty of TV series.
This poem celebrates all things Sunday related. It also considers the sense of doom that comes with a Monday morning. Having Monday looming over me is the downside of Sunday. Never mind. All good things come to an end. Make the most of your weekends while you can. Give yourself some worthwhile me time and rest those aching bones.
The weekend is full of joy,
Much needed sleep and rest,
On Saturday I get stuff done,
For me that day’s the best!
The weekend is a chance to chill,
And watch TV and browse,
But Sunday brings its own delights,
Like cleaning half the house.
On Saturday I shop and dance,
I try to workout and be fitter,
But Sunday brings a different vibe,
That sometimes makes me bitter.
Because Monday follows Sunday quick,
And preparations for the work week start,
I wish we had three day weekends,
More time for fun and art.
Reality brings chores and angst,
As ironing and planning fill my days,
But Monday you don’t own me,
With your taunting, stirring ways.
On Sunday I can still kick back,
And eat bacon sandwiches in bed,
I see you Monday, glare at me,
You’re messing with my head!
Thank you for taking the time to read my ‘That Sunday feeling’ poem. Please consider following my blog for similar poems in future. Here is one such poem – Sunday Blues – for you to devour.
Sunday arrives with optimistic skies,
Bright and breezy, clean and sweet.
Sunday is full of fun and laughs,
Running, jumping, skipping feet.
Food is roasted in the afternoon,
Cake is eaten and tea is brewed,
Lots of chatter, family time,
Puts us in a settled mood.
Sadly as the night draws in,
Movies watched and people smile,
That Monday feeling looms within,
We put to one side, just for a while.
As the new week beckons then,
Prep for work and clothes to wash,
Sleeping is a troublesome game,
Now it’s Monday. Oh My Gosh!
