It’s Monday
A day of laundry
Slack clotheslines
Candour of dying flowers
Petalless tulips
with swollen heads
My head seems never
quiet or silent, perhaps
because it’s Monday

Here too, even in a bank holiday! I love this poem, Marilyn.

Thank you, Kim. It’s odd weather, too. Neither this nor that sort of day.

I don’t know; I’m blanked. Don’t know if it’s me or Monday. Nice work, Misky!

I love “Candour of dying flowers”. I tried to read petalless as a Latin word or something – emphasized the second syllable. Then I realized I was being a goose. I blame the fact that I haven’t actually sipped my morning coffee yet.

Coffee is a prerequisite to reading anything, imo. 😂

Lovely piece – candour of dying flowers & the slack clotheslines two favourite images – and a great dark burdened painting of the seamstresses as well. Weighty stuff.

That word candour popped up in an article I was reading, and I thought I really must use it. It’s funny how words slip in and out of one’s vocabulary.
