mundane monday

manic monday, begone!

artwork by andrew atroshenko “contemplation”

 

 

 

the words
        like threads
help me sew a tapestry of the day
silken linguistics slip through
the needle of miscellany
a frivolous bagatelle soon takes form
                so regal
an accouterment to drape over
my chair of ennui
on an oh-so- mundane monday

"Poetry translates the mundane into the magical." quote from L. Shutter ;0) and I think this is all that really needs to be said about this very "nice" and UN-mundane Monday poem... Lydi, I think you are one of the very few who could write such a wonderful line as : "silken linguistics slip through
the needle of miscellany" and with this, each and every day becomes alive with art and the desire to create.... it is always so wonderful to read your creations... be well Lydi, ~~redzone

We all have such days, and even with a wealth of different interests, ennui can cast its languid spell over each and all of us! This poem has a playful feel to it, to my mind. Skilfully constructed, with a message we can all relate to. Even in the midst of ennui we can put pen to paper, in a creative way! Nicely penned, Lydi! ~ Robert.

[Lydia Shutter]

That's right, Robert....writing makes the day worthwhile no matter what is happening if you ask me. Thank you for this wonderful review. Have a good evening. Lydi**

[jacob erin-cilberto]

god, this is beautiful...and Monday will never be the same....okay so spanky and our gang used Sunday....but it fits with this poem..love the word, "ennui"---

[Lydia Shutter]

Now, of course, that song will be in my brain all day. :) Thanks for the great review Jacob. Lydi**

Your contemplations seem anything but mundane fine lady, or maybe because I'm reading this on a Tuesday, nope, they always are! Your pen has a flair of elegance, it probably drinks tea with pinky's up..ha, love it Lydia!

[Lydia Shutter]

But of course my words sit like little ladies at the table and keep their pinkies up! You are very funny, Frieda. Thanks for the wonderful review. lydi**

[Frieda P]

Ha you know we don't want to get those frown lines Lydi, my pleasure always.

How ironic that this is the furthest thing from mundane. You choose your words so eloquently and they came to life and danced on the page for me. I also learnt a new word today…I had to look up “ennui”. Beautiful poem Lydi…I enjoyed it deeply!!

[Lydia Shutter]

I am thrilled when I can send someone to the dictionary...thank you for telling me, Mia. I appreciate your review. Have a great day. Lydi**
