I wrote a poem on Monday

It did not make sense

So I tore off the page

And threw it in the bin

I wrote a poem on Tuesday

But I wanted to rewrite

It still lies in wait

In the folds of my mind

I wrote a poem on Wednesday

A good day to ink words

But it was cold outside

And it froze all my thoughts

I wrote a poem on Thursday

But got confused mid way

So I let it sit for a while

Till I forgot what to say

I wrote a poem on Friday

But Friday’s child is unlucky

So I thought it’s just okay

To let just pass the day

I wrote a poem on Saturday

But got carried away

The melting pain and

Loneliness took my breath away

I wrote a poem on Sunday

I mean today….but again

Let the poem stay

In the memory of my pen

I wrote a poem on all seven days

Some made sense some not

Some remained half done

Some I left to rot

And tomorrow by the way

It’s going to be Monday again

When I will write a poem

And bid it goodbye in vain

(Inspired by fun rhymes of childhood)

I’m getting confused with words

I am participating in Blogchatter’s #WriteAPageADay Campaign

    GC, loved this!
    The week-long rhythm and playful struggle with words are wonderful.
    I also love the honesty in letting some poems rest! 😃

    This poem feels like a gentle walk through a week lived with words. Each day carries its own mood, its own hesitation, and that makes the journey feel very real. I loved how writing itself becomes a habit, a struggle, and a comfort all at once.
    Quietly beautiful and deeply relatable.
