Poetry: A day off

2–3 minutes

A typical day off is like a breath of fresh air, where everything slows down, and I can finally relax. It usually starts with the enticing smell of fresh coffee, setting the perfect vibe as the sun comes up. I sink into my favorite chair and think about what I want to do today—maybe a nice walk to the beach to dip my toes in the water or catching up with a friend over a tasty lunch. Of course, there are a few chores to tackle, like laundry and tidying up, but they feel less like work and more like a way to keep things organized. I might even dabble in a little art, letting creativity flow as I paint or sketch. As evening rolls in, I get to decide whether to whip up dinner at home or go out for a bite, which is always a fun choice. I’ll probably pour myself a glass of wine and unwind with a movie. Blending all these simple pleasures and a few responsibilities turns my day off into a refreshing experience, giving me time to recharge and enjoy the moment before diving back into the hustle and bustle of life.

In morning’s hush, I sip my brew,
A tranquil scene, a sky so blue.
Settled in a chair, I watch the news,
Welcoming the dawn, with dreams to peruse.

Plans unfold in a joyful dance,
Food shopping lists and a friend’s chance,
Lunch awaits at a cheerful spot,
In these moments, happiness is caught.

Chores await with laundry to do,
Yet in each task, there’s pleasure too.
Small deeds like pearls, perfectly aligned,
In a woven tapestry, our lives combined.

To the beach I wander, toes in the tide,
Where gentle waves whisper and glide.
As the sun sinks low, shadows entwine,
In golden whispers, our day intertwines.

Dinner beckons, a choice to decide,
In or out, where will I glide?
A glass of wine and a flickering light,
In cozy comforts, my heart takes flight.

As stars appear in the velvet night,
I say goodbye to the day’s sweet light.
With thoughts of joy and dreams in sight,
Goodnight, dear world, till morning’s light.
