OctPoWriMo Day 9 prompt: Lyrical poetry

Lyrical poetry is poetry that is written like a song. I think this is one of the hardest prompts yet!

~~~
Restless Dreamer

Looking out the window
it's another rainy day
where I'm searching for
some sunshine
for some warmth to light
my way

My feet upon the pavement
take me dully on my way
as I drag myself from here
to there
another boring day

It's Friday, almost
Friday, but who cares
cuz all that is, is a brief
two days of freedom
just enough, almost
enough

And now I'm looking out a window
on a bus for far away,
I can see the clouds
behind me
as it ferries me away

  1. So well done! Loved it, especially the last two lines....being ferried away...with the clouds behind me....sigh.

    1. Thanks! I think that all of us have days when we just want to escape the grind. We're all restless dreamers sometimes!
