wednesday
you are the lump in my throat
my week-ness
nestling so comfortably
glowing, gloating
famed but feckless
fiddling between my thens and nows
cutting my life into uneven sections
of reveries and regrets
oh wednesday,
who gave you the honour?
In response to Sarah’s Poetics, “What Day is it Anyways?”

What a wonderful way to describe Wednesday, Mish, as a lump in your throat and your ‘week-ness’! I love ‘fiddling between my thens and nows’!
I like the use of “week-ness” with a poem about Wednesday.
I agree with Frank and Kim and also feel similarly about Wednesday.
Good one. I never much cared for Wednesdays.
I so love the weekness and the way you used alliteration in the lines:
glowing, gloating
famed but feckless
fiddling between my thens and nows
“week-ness” – gosh I loved this! Wednesday, a day caught between thoughts
I love this description of Wednesday!
“you are the lump in my throat”
“fiddling between my thens and nows
cutting my life into uneven sections”
Tose are my favorite lines. Lovely!
I liked the fact that the word hump never appeared in the poem; a terrific spin of and tribute to
Wednesdays.
❤ it
Thank you, Melanie!
