Sunday

By John R. Greenwood


Sunday feelings

Can’t hang on

Minutes fly by

In rapid fire succession

If only there were

Magic words to

Slow and soften

The minutes quickly passing

Monday’s follow

A nagging reminder

That time waits for no man

Even on Sunday

  1. Just the thought of Monday spoils a Sunday. True.

  3. You are right. Time does wait for no one. You have to make the most of each moment. As Sherry said, enjoy your Sunday.

  6. Touche... Time passes no matter how hard we try to stop it. The Sunday dread of a week's new start can ruin the whole day.

  8. Indeed it does not. In my young adulthood, I'd suffer such depression on Sunday evening, knowing the long week that lay ahead! Now I embrace it all!

  9. We look forward to our weekend all during the workweek and then it passes so quickly into Blue Monday........and there is nothing we can do about it. Wonderfully penned.

  12. Good read, good write ... but I wish it were not so for you. About Sundays I mean. I relish a good old lazy Sunday. Haven't had one in a month as June is Opera month but next Sunday, it will be lazy and here's hoping that yours is too.

  13. I work retail part-time; I understand the dread, but for me, I dread the weekend! Friday to Sunday are usually my worst, busiest days.

    I have a Monday poem too, if you'd like to check it out: http://beespoetry.wordpress.com/2011/06/20/mondays-child/
