are for sleeping in
coffee with Mom and Dad
nibbling on a sugar cookie
dragging myself to the Y
sweat anyway
workout done
Saturdays are for easy lunches
salads and croissant sandwiches
thrift store shopping
unexpected surprises
Saturdays are for laughing
a bit of laundry, hugs,
packages in the mail
slurping spaghetti
Saturdays are for chatting
making wrong turns
again
on our way to the venue
Saturdays are for concerts
an orchestra
musicians, my musician
John Williams’ genius
enchanting us all
with memories of favorite movies
Saturdays are for sitting
around the fire pit
chocolate, graham crackers,
and sticky charred marshmallows
winter playing tag with spring
under the orange sliver of a moon
Thank you. I remember attempting to teach my students how to avoid telling an “around the clock story” and here I am, writing an around the clock poem. However, I did focus telling about my day, lol!
Saturdays have been packed with chores or cold weather that makes me want to stay warm and cozy. It was nice to get out and do something other than the regular things that need to get done.
Love the nod to Saturday! The line with winter playing tag with spring is so accurate as we dip back into the 40’s this week after a 72 degree day yesterday!

You’ve written a beautiful poem! I love the repetition of the phrases and the imagery of how you spent your day. 🙂

Thank you. It’s that time of year where we wear shorts one day, coats the next, and sometimes both in the same day.
