Monday Maladies

The Daily Prompt Frivolous

Sunlight streaming through the blinds

Wakeup signals to remind

It’s time to start the week

Repeated attempts to silence the alarms

Snooze buttons refusing to respond

Yesterday was not a fun filled Sunday

Nor is it going to be a manic Monday

Just the mundane drudgery of a workweek

Looking at me to start my day

Hundreds of excuses to stay in bed

None that will muster even a glance

All my frivolous attempts to postpone

Starting of Monday maladies have failed

SUNDAY MORNING IN DENTIST’S OFFICE

Sunday morning in Dentist’s Office

Winter morning
Sunday
Grey sky
Dark and cold
Inviting warm bed
Disheveled from a
Long night’s tossing and turning
I would rather be here
Then be in my
Dentist’s Office.

Long drive
Thoughts drifting to
The pot of brewed coffee
On the kitchen counter
Slowly dragged myself
To my dentist’s office

Warm, radiant smile
Welcoming hygienist
Stretched my body
On the inviting chair
Whirring  of the drill
Pinging of the water pick
The small talks
Napping
Drifting in and out
Mild growling in my tummy
Thoughts of a warm, spicy breakfast
Yummy
Not as bad as I thought
Sunday morning in my dentist’s office.
