Week Work

Illustration of a smiling older man with gray hair and a beard, wearing glasses, a blue suit, and a striped tie.
Capturing the essence of seasoned sophistication, this illustration blends a professional portrait with an abstract watercolor backdrop, symbolizing the melding of structured time with the fluidity of life’s colorful experiences.

Monday:
Just another rainy Monday.
Lessons finally prepped.
Hope students are down
to learn today.

Tuesday:
Sun is bright.
Feels like students
Gained nothing.
At least they
Lost nothing.
Goodbye, Tuesday.

Wednesday:
Woe is me.
I’m alone.
Crying.
Why does this week
Feel so long?

Thursday:
Yesterday,
I cried, so, please
Throw me
to tomorrow.

Friday:

It’s Friday.
I’m in Love
With teaching again.
All my troubles?
So far away.

Saturday:
Saturday’s alright.
Enjoyed the park.
Oh, Saturday sun!
Breeze in my hair.
Saturday night’s alright!

Sunday:
Sunday morning’s easy.
But, it’s the end
Of the weekend.
And Monday…
Monday!
I don’t like Mondays.
