Wild Weekend
Β 
Sunday – and the squirrels are lazing in their branches,
the sheep are congregating for morning service,
and the bears are sleeping off their sore heads.
Β 
The sloths are taking things slow, the hippos are wallowing,
the cats are curling up on the newspaper in front of the television.
The alpacas will spend the day in their fluffies.
Β 
Not everyone is taking it easy. The deer are up already
for a walk around the park. The ducks are planning a trip
across the lake. The salmon have gone wild swimming.
Β 
The snails are pottering about the garden, while the crows
scan its aisles for materials and a spot of DIY. The pigeons have split
up: some are hanging around the shopping centre,
Β 
others intend to spend the afternoon at the Test match.
The lions are having an old friend over for dinner, the camels
are baking, the spiders are browsing their webs, and the humans…
Β 
the humans are wondering where the weekend has gone
as they stave off the prospect of another beastly Monday,
questioning the natural order of things.

Here’s a new poem called β€˜Wild Weekend’.

It’s easily done!

The Great Alone didn’t disappoint. 😍

The Great Alone sounds fab.

I’ve just read The Women. Can recommend it!

Not me! A phone is too small.

Which book did you enjoy the most?

That’s the problem, isn’t it? Paid work can get in the way…

Eek! After you posted, I bought the book. Have you read it yet? I enjoyed it. Not one to read late at night...

The Andrea Mara book is on my TBR list. I’ve enjoyed the last two books she wrote.
