The Staircase

Tuesday pounced on Monday’s back They rolled then tumbled through a crack Wednesday came to sweep the floor Thursday chased them out the door Friday shook his weary head Saturday went straight to bed Sunday sought his peace in prayers While Monday waited, by the stairs..

Freudian stairs beyond prayers calling true love in our souls all our life.

Hmmm...I hadn't though of anything Freud-ish, but I think one could read with this with a kinder perspective. If it had a scientific allusion it would be akin to Pavlov's alarm clock stimuli. But I'm not a pooch, so your perspective is much nicer. Keep well Ovidiu!! :)

I think this is the fifth or sixth poem of yours I've read tonight. I've genuinely enjoyed every single one of them. You are so talented! You really should consider putting together a collection of children's poems.

Thanks :) I had thought at one point that I'd love to do a children's book. Then I thought of publishing a book of poetry. Sad for me, my computer got hacked into so some of the poetry was taken. Some I've retrieved, so I'm posting them. Crazy, huh?

Did I say the last time - children would love this poem, so full of imagination. You are a regular Mother Goose, Mikki. Love, daver
