Todays
Mondays I am larger than life,
cracking out witty remarks and snappy retorts.
Tuesdays I gleefully grant wishes,
a genie in a bottle (of vodka or gin or something-or-other)
Wednesdays I am chocolate cravings
and caffeine fixes
and speaking
(squeaking?)
faster and faster
words tumbling, and tripping, and skipping,
fearing I may just
SNAP!
Thursdays, inevitably, I need a little nap.
Fridays I tolerate, my half open eyes
on the prize dangling tantalisingly on the horizon.
Saturdays I crackle and zip and zing,
tempus fugit
I’m late, I’m late, I’m late,
I’m….
Sundays I am quiet divinity personified,
love seat swinging, my hand safely tucked in yours.
Yesterdays I am the hero of my own dreams,
history painted with my artistic, merciful brush.
Tomorrows I am unflawed,
a blank piece of paper, a story full of promise as yet unwritten.
Todays
(insert here an exclamation mark of quiet despair)
I am small,
frail,
insubstantial,
a mere wish upon the breeze of life,
longing to land.

Yeah, I get days like that too Rhana, and today is one of them…
This was going to be one of those six word thingies…. “Today I feel, so very small” but it just kinda grew with a life of its own. Thanks Matt.

Beautiful words, Rhana….I know about that longing…. xxx
I’m blessed to not feel it very often Mel, but when it comes, there is just no shaking it. xx

What a wordsmith you are Rhana. Beautifully expressed – I suspect most of us can empathise…xx
Heartfelt thanks for such a wonderful compliment, although I’m not sure “wordsmith” and Rhana are words that should be mentioned in the same sentence ;)
– Rhana Griffin
Me too….
Ah Rhana, this is superb.
Sundays I hang out with my dog rather than my special somone (coz he hasn’t showed up yet!) but otherwise, word for word, this is me.
You have created something very special here. Thank you for sharing it.
Furbabies are arguably even better than that special someone Mieke. Furbabies love you unconditionally….

Ahem…. well, I get to speak to you most “todays” and I see you as inspired and brilliant and clever and cherished :)
Ahhhh yes… but methinks you may be just a lil bit biased Ms Jen xxx

Wow – fabulous poetry, Rhana!
Thanks so much Tane :))))

Beautifully expressed Rhana.
Though, might I just say that you forgot to mention “everydays”, so I’ll fill in that one for you if I may be so bold ;-)
On these days you are a gem. A bright, shining multifaceted light of love and laughter, compassion and empathy and a truly beautiful soul.
