Friday comes. For fifty-two hours, the laptop is closed, but always nearby.

I like the juxtapositions, the space, the pace. Very nice.
Thanks, Jennifer!
DeleteLove the last line. Work is only a whisper away, the mind is never free.
ReplyDeleteThanks, and you're right. The weekend world has its way of intruding on the work day too. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
DeleteIt IS always nearby isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt sure is!
DeleteYou can never run from work, can you? Even with the laptop closed, it's still nearby, just in case you can't completely have a life.
ReplyDeleteYup, it's hard to escape, but I keep trying.
DeleteAt least that laptop is closed, right? Some people never quite take a break.
ReplyDeleteNo kidding!
DeleteI love the anticipatory feel in the second stanza in particular. Really neat way to answer the question. Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christine!
DeleteI love your tweed and tango references... and you haiku format.
ReplyDeleteThank you for noticing. ;)
DeleteI like this one a lot!
ReplyDeleteBut thank God for Fridays for all those who work 5 days a week the wait is worth it:-) Loved this!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Everybody's workin' for the weekend. ;)
DeleteOh, I love this. So much texture and rhythm in such a tiny space.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. That is a wonderful compliment.
DeleteLove the anticipation for weekend that you created! I personally can not wait for it!!!
ReplyDeleteJust another couple days now!
DeleteAmazing! Only 2 verbs but still so much movement.
ReplyDeleteThank you! That's an interesting observation about the verbs. I hadn't noticed how sparing I was with them.
