Against the Dearth of Monday Poems


Monday
is where Sunday's dreams are echoing

in the high-ceilinged chambers of your mind

Sunday's Amsel sings sweet in lilac trees
fading petals of beloved memories.

At a Prince's Summer Palace

    Oh Monday morning, Monday morning couldn't guarantee
    That Monday evening you would still be here with me.

  5. There
    Is
    Much more
    To Mondays
    Than wide opened doors:
    White boards awaiting for stories,
    New depths of breath just longing – begging - to be exhaled.

  14. Such peace that it lingers and yet outruns the mind.

    Occasionally when peace has to promise serenity it will take residence in the abode you photographed so well.

  16. Hello Merisi,

    This Monday evening I have treated myself to a read of your most recent posts. Thank you, as always for indicating to all of us how life might be enjoyed!

    Tomorrow is a day off for me, and I will try to explore my own life in the slower lane, knowing that benefits will ensue.

    Will try to take my camera along.

    Thank you again for sharing the beauty around you. xo

  20. Nobody has a blog like this one..I needed this tonight..it's been a long day..You asked about the lens that I was using. It is the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens with image stabilization. Not the worst and not the best, but good enough for me...

  28. The white purity of this room is just what I need at the moment. And I would wrap myself in one of these sheer botanicals. I've just been to visit your companion's site, and oh those peonies! Always a mesmorizing visit.

  29. First Plenty Of Fish Dating Site Of Free Dating all I would like to say terrific
    blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you
    don't mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to
    writing. I have had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there.
    I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted simply just
    trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?
    Many thanks!
