End of the Week is as End of the Week Does

Friday again. Man how the week goes by. I spent most of it editing my next book and I must say I like this one. I know you would like to agree with me, but it’s going to be a while till I get the thing out the door. Besides the fact that you will have to pick it up and read it before you agree or not, I have confidence you will.

The subject of my post today is to celebrate the week’s end with a quick Haiku that hopefully translates the meaning of Friday to most of us. Those of you who are lucky enough to avoid work can stop right here cause you will simply not get the meaning and social import of the words assembled. For the rest of us who must face the prospect of working each and every day here is my haiku homage to work.

For some work is play,

Work for others is judgment. . .

Drinkers work’s a curse.

Have a Happy Friday and Great weekend

Weekend Haiku is as Weekend Haiku Does

When I was working in organized commerce, I used to look so forward to the weekends. This was a time for family and to forget for a while the pressures back at work. Now that I am pretty much liberated to work twenty-four seven on my own stuff, the appeal of Friday does not have the same cachet. Yes it is nice to put in a full week and try to take some reward for that, but as a writer there never seem to be the opportunity to simply get away. Ideas keep popping up, text needs editing, and other writers need to be paid attention. So although I would like to look forward to a defining day like Friday it just is not in the cards right now. I do remember the sweetness of finishing the week and so I wrote the Haiku in honor of the weekend.

Friday is so far,

Never seems to come too fast . . .

Monday, like the wind.

Hope you have a good weekend.
