"Week in a Wink"
Mon rocked up in trackies,
Tim Tams for tea,
By Tues the kookas
were laughin’ at me.
Wens the streets glistened,
still damp underfoot,
but hope wore her sandals
and kicked off the soot.
Fri slid past quiet,
Sat hit with a thud,
Sun blazed in gold
and lit up the mud.

- Comment from author about the poem: Snappy enough to scroll past and still cop a chuckle. Hopefully this crispier take will be easier to understand; else, we have to loan Fido from Orchidee 🕊️🙏🏻

This took me back to my childhood and rhymes of the days of the week. It has a little fun word play as well making it all the better. Nice Cryptic
Thanks Soren. It was fun to have a bit of play. And the last post would've helped as well. Have a great weekend🙏🏻🕊️
You are most welcome Cryptic have a great weekend as well
Thank you 🕊️🙏🏻
No need for Fido, a lovely piece of Fun, enjoyed the read
Haha, that is very assuring to hear. Thanks Tobani🕊️🙏🏻
You are very welcome
Thanks for the Fave 🤩 @CM
My pleasure, you're very welcome.
Love how each day arrives with its own little cameo — trackpants and Tim-Tams setting the mood, kookaburras as the week’s chorus, hope literally striding in to clear the muck. The quick, breezy rhymes make it feel like flipping through a week’s worth of Polaroids, ending on that perfect contrast of gold and mud. It’s got that wink‑and‑wave tone that makes you want to read it aloud. And we hope reading it aloud is enjoyable! 🕊️🙏🏻
It was very enjoyable reading it aloud!
No scrolling past by me...loved every movement through the week. What a wonderfully creative and poetic way to tackle the week! Love it, mon! We be jammin' here! 🤣 A fave from me, dear friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Must be nice to hear Kookaburras first thing.
Enjoyed.
There are days..., saw one this morning on the drive to school drop offs. But they can be loud and persistent.
that BIG smile you just lent me is now a broad smile .. write across my face sidewards with the ends curled up at each corner .. nice one squire ..
Hoping they aren't lent but gifted 🙏🏻 thanks Nev🕊️
Come in, Fido, please, and explain....! lol.
What to do without Fido, we all need a Fido!🕊️🙏🏻
Dear, arqios,
This is lovely, it reads like a skipping rope ditty - the last two lines, a gem - a gem in the mud, that is. As I said, Lovely and then some.
Fond regards,
Tony.

Aye in a wink, or as I rather phrase it, "..in a blink." I love how this trips along gaily short and sweet with a waltzing sense of rhythm in tow. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a delightful poignancy. Thank you so very much for sharing.
Ah, the joy! Best keep at it as long as we can. Thanks too.
You're very welcome!
