Come Monday.

by Courageous Dreamer   Oct 3, 2010


A pendulum hums
minutes of a week's span,
each littered carelessly -
'til thrown onto heaping piles
of departed time...

yet I find myself
trudging through
these recycled days -
along with mannequin souls
of which emotions
have become tethered.

Discarding materialistic
belongings -
while salvaging
valuable scraps,
in hopes of
alleviating negativity.

'cause come Monday...
nothing will remain,
for all is disposed -
leaving a vacuous space
to fill with rubbish
from life, forevermore.

    A pendulum hums
    minutes of a week's span,

    ^^I am an admirer of the very 1st 2 lines of this poem..THe title it self was amazing..
    I just think the word hums, was perfect..

    each littered carelessly -
    'til thrown onto heaping piles
    of departed time...
    ^^I love the wording..it's kind of flowlessss
    Tender, clear and poetic..

    yet I find myself
    trudging through
    these recycled days -
    along with mannequin souls
    of which emotions
    have become tethered.
    ^^Strong strong..strong stanza,
    reflecting ur emotions in a very related way.
    I feel like being bored and smothered by the routine of our everyday.. U have given me diff images through these 2 stanzas. Both are words to relate to!

    Discarding materialistic
    belongings -
    while salvaging
    valuable scraps,
    in hopes of
    alleviating negativity.
    ^^I think the usage of adjectives was a bit heavy here..i wish u said through pessimist c hopes.. or something smoother..than the way it was that ( the last 2 lines)
    but either way, the feelings been still strong..and the message was still being sent.

    'cause come Monday...
    nothing will remain,
    for all is disposed -
    ^^Wow..amazingly said.

    leaving a vacuous space
    to fill with rubbish
    from life, forevermore.
