"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.

    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

                Love how each day arrives with its own little cameo β€” 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! πŸ•ŠοΈπŸ™πŸ»

                        There are days..., saw one this morning on the drive to school drop offs. But they can be loud and persistent.

                            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.
