Sundays Poem by LeeAnn Azzopardi

Sundays

Rating: 5.0


There's no sun to sit and warm ourselves
The dampness of the early morning rain
Has kept us inside
You, reading the paper
And I, typing another sonnet about you
The dog is sleeping on the sofa
His back is against the arm rest
With his eyes closed
I wonder if he's dreaming
About going outside
In the distance, the dryer echoes
As I started with a small load
And within an hour, it will be done
Then I would fold and put away the clothes
Suddenly, it becomes the afternoon
How much we spend our Sundays like this
Watching the cars on our quiet street go by

I can imagine you at home, the dog sleeping, the sound of the dryer, the cars going by. Very vividly described.

Quite Contemplative, the descriptions are picturesque and serene, sounds like a nice rainy sunday morning, nestled in a languid pose, with the days routines to keep you up. The closing two lines seem a bid forlorn but also serene, with its continuity of the weekend rituals. This is pleasant.
