Woo hoo! I enjoyed The Mamas and The Papas' song even though I was not a fan. The poem was beautiful. To me Monday is the equivalent of the Bible's Morning, "Weeping endures for a night, but joy comes in the morning." In your case, or ( in the poem's case) your Monday and the Bible's Morning represents the same. Just my opinion. Great job as always. Love your poems, they have such meaning.

First, thanks for that song! It's "been a minute"--as the kids say! Great free verse.
Well presented with the blood red lines...great
repeating " Monday's coming..." Seems we're always chasing peace of mind, or running from lack of it! Like the song says, "sometimes it just works out that way..."

    Oh! I never saw the point in "bad" reviews! I read a poet on site that was delighted to join! Three posts in, after three stars and one star she PM'd me, saying she thought she had a flair for writing but apparently was wrong. She quit. She was thirteen!--I still wonder if she'll ever dare to share her work again!--Karenina

Beautiful poem! The image you chose is perfect. The red text is effective. The whole color story adds to the mood of your words. Your topic is relatable to all and honest.

When we make a promise, we need to do everything in our power to keep said promise. May you find your weekend filled to overflowing with blessings from God, who is faithful to keep His promises

Your free verse poem is creatively written, very descriptive, and moving.
Your symbolic use of "Monday" in reference to a promise one makes to
himself, but Monday keeps moving into the distance, is very effective.

This was very sad and beautiful at the same time. I know how it feels to be tortured by something day and night. You captured the emotions very well.

WOW! And your poem caught me with my sixes down. Your poem is a triumph, Missy. At first I thought it was a religious poem, largely because of "HIS PROMISE". This was so unexpected, though, and so very, very impactful. I am stunned! Thank you, my dear, for showing me a deep side of yourself.
