It's that time of day again... #NaPoWriMo! Today's prompt was to write a poem in which the speaker expresses the desire to be someone or something else, and explains why. I'm a teacher, so naturally I want to be Friday!

Friday I work And sleep, And work and sleep, Repeat. Between work and sleep I eat And drink Over a stack of half marked books, Essays, plans, Reports And I sleep. Between sleep and work I eat And drink And walk the dog On frostbitten, torrential mornings In dusk and desert, Poo bag in hand, I work. Yet Somewhere after work, Before sleep, I exist In the pages of a book, In the pub with friends, In online chatter, After a nap on the sofa, Sleep. And every day I count the hours, Watching the calendar And imagining The best of both worlds, A combination Of sleep and work. In childhood's unendless possibilities I am in perpetual Movement, After a six day hibernation, I am A hive of activity, A hive of productivity, I am the queen As my work works for me, I am the queen In painted nails And purple eyeliner. And I evaporate With Cinderella's call To relax and unwind In a state of unbeing Between sleep and work, And work and sleep.
