I woke up in the middle of the night
To a thundering storm, and rain outside.
I checked my phone to check the hour,
It was 5 o’clock- not what one would desire.
I planned to sleep again, wake up at nine-
Then play some games to pass the time.
As I was planning this dream day down,
My mom came and said ‘Wake up! It’s already dawn!’
I thought to myself ‘What’d mom just say?!’
Then I remembered it was a blue and boring Monday!!!
Birds seem quiet,
while the sun
seems to be yelling
in anger.
My throat is dry,
dogs are asleep.
I decrease
the AC temperature making the room
cool as a cucumber.
I switch on the T.V to
watch my show,
I can hear
mom in the kitchen
getting us all ice cream.
I am relaxed-
no worries on my head and the
only thing I’m concerned about
is what movie I should
watch next.
I wonder how long
it has been,
the slow moving
days of the
sweet summer of 2016.
