Always, my favourite
day, after - Payday
Date day, play day
fun themes, all day
my-kinda-day
Late night’s, spent together
as music, seeps-in a little deeper
immersed, in swaying habits
as alcohol, tastes a little sweeter
and our good mood's, ever linger
Youth’s mementos
of cinema screens, playing
to our embracing cheeks
eyes, too busy
on magnetic elbow fights
with that beauty, by our side
Friends, galore
in our hatchback for four
or eight
when seaside getaways
have us, topping-up
tyre air
every few miles
Grownup schedules, work lunches
jeans with suit jackets
smart casual, a glass extra
to celebrate deals, that easy going
child at heart - not old yet
stubbornness, as our go to - moto
get that tipsy feeling, enacted
before happy hour’s, even started
Grey hair shimmering
off-of smooth scalp, plains
but we're still grinning
at that Judas, mirror reflection
because it’s Saturday
and those tearaway grandkids
are coming over, to play...
Yeah, you’re reading
and nodding
to that Saturday, feeling
because you’re relating
with that infectious joy
in my meaning
grinning, like a kid again
knowing, when that
gift-giving day, lands
on a Saturday
in our beloved Blighty
we get:
a Ten-day break
for just three
of our annual leave days
now that’s
the kinda Saturday math
we love: to sing about
hell yeah, I’ll drink to that
‘hip hip and a little, festive cheer’, to all!

Merry X'mas and Happy New Year.
thank you, Happy New Year!
A great melange of christmas' passions, practices, pleasure and plum pudding perfectly penned, placed in precise perfection to coin a phrase.
Raising a glass to you sir!

lol, thank you kind sir

celebrating
another festive season

Never apologise for words written in earnest, unless the guy's name is actually, Earnest. It's great that you've stopped to do the maths, and found extra sleeping days, though something tells me someone else has done the maths too, and the grandkids are staying longer now.
that flipped coin of perspective, lol
hoping it wasn't too bad
Happy New Year, dear Poet!
Extra bank holidays and a weekend stretched like elastic, as for the journey through your time slip poem I did indeed find myself smiling and nodding along you nailed this one ☺ Merry Christmas
glad you enjoyed the read
thank you, I was just trying
to share a little, festive cheer
and hope you had a good rest,
Happy New Year!
Never have I found the words offensive
Maybe the years haven’t been normal for sometime
Don’t know how long will it take to normalise
Yet saturdays were pretty beautiful back in those days
Now hooked up on a desk with computer and net
All days look same
With work and no respite
Gloomy
Only at mps it marks a change of atmosphere for me
With those pens who are magic wands
The poets make me travel to wonderful places or witness the past memories as they weave those
Amen
and I agree, MPS is a great refuge
for tired hearts and labouring minds..
Thank you, for the kind words dear Poet
and Happy New Year!
Happy new year dear Mek…..
Dear Mek, Merry Christmas. May this day be full of love and laughter to you and your family.... Your words were never offensive Mek... So no need to apologize.

This is a fantastic poem.
Late night’s, spent together
as music, seeps-in a little deeper
immersed, in swaying habits
as alcohol, tastes a little sweeter
and our good mood's, ever linger

From beginning to end memories, most all fond and desirable. Heart warming, wistful, at most a bit melancholic. Thanks for the memories L.B.

in encouraging me, how very kind
