Why can't I have Tuesday
It's only a day you know
and
I really want each Tuesday
Just because.
It could be any other day
but Tuesday is the one
and
I really want my Tuesday
Just because
If I could just have Tuesday
at least I'd have a life
And
it would always be my Tuesday
Just because
I don't think I'll ever have Tuesday
and that's OK I guess
but
I really do want Tuesday
Just because

This is my favorite. I've tried to do the same thing in some of my writings... I have my own Tuesday that I can't have. You put it simply. It is very personal and I understand completely!
-
This is a really nice poem, it has a different feel toit than the other things I've read by you,
I like it very much, there is a simplicity about it a vulnerability
nice write my friend
-
-
It is a very personal write, I am glad you like it, that makes me feel good

It's too bad that most people can't accept that "Just because" can be the perfect answer! This was fun to read and reminded my of dealing with my children as "Just Because" is the international term for "give me this for I am spoiled". I really like this poem. Thanks Jeff!

This is profound
This is so deep, I can't understand it
My astrologer doesn't know what it means, either
Waiting for my priest, I am having a fit
This poem has stumped me; I must take a breather
Why do you write stuff like this that's so hard
Something that nobody can understand
It makes me feel like I'm a retard
Next time write something that is more bland -
today i give you your tuesday enjoy
-
Just lovely, Tuesdays really are the best, just because.
Poesy

Tuesday huh? I am more a Thursday girl or Sunday sometimes, this made me smile, Tuesday doesn't get enough credit in my book Best to you
-
Good stuff.
So simple and so grand.
A little thing, Tuesday.
I love this.
Thanks for it.
-
Just becasue is always the answer to everything. When in doubt of what reason to give, 'Just because' works just fine. Nice poem.
-
i really, really liked this! the form makes for a great flow. I love that your reason for wanting Tuesday, is "just because"....
-
ok you can have EVERY TUESDAY of..i'll have every thursdays of..because its near the weekend..good write..xxx
-
funny, tuesday in french is called "mardi", and it is the day honoring the planet "mars" ... planet of courage, strength, force, also of war ... maybe unconsciously you have interwoven your verse with this particular energy of determination and willpower that characterizes this day-planet-deity ...
the "just because" is very charming - I'm seeing a little child in front of me, trying to convince its mum to give it what it wants ... is it you ? is it me ? is it fantasy ?

...Just because.
There is much power in the limitations set before us. Tuesday seems like such a simple request and yet again, how many of us actually HAVE Tuesday?
It is a good day -
I enjoyed this light and thoughtful work. Very very well done. ~Pamela

If I could just have Tuesday
at least I'd have a life
And
it would always be my Tuesday
Just because
just because.. wow.. interesting -
To answer your IM question, it has a certain capriciousness to it, which makes it fun. Obviously, it is well written. It's the capriciousness to it that makes it engaging and alluring.
-
Very original and the repetitions work well. Quite enjoyable read.
-
i like how this flows, even the repititioin!
-
If it were in my power I'd give you Tuesday, as yet my knowledge of magic isn't that advanced. I like this its got a delicious touch of eccentricity to it.

Forgot clappy men
-
I really like this one, it flows very well. It seems a bit empty though...like it could do with a bit more feeling. Just a thought though.
-
I like this one. I think that it needs a little more though.
-
We always want what we can't have it seems. I don't know why you want tuesday, but now you've made me want it too...just because! ***Pam***
-
I hereby grant you all of the Tuesdays you will ever want or need! *POOF!* cough cough...(my magic wand is a bit rusty)
I like this little write. Very much. Love, Lane
-
Ah, Tuesday. Such a fickle day. Makes one want it more.
-
Ahh, there was me thinking it was Wednesday that was full of woe, or as I wrote within a poem once,the semi colon of the week...
The poet seems to say he is fullfilled six out of the seven days but something about Tuesdays leaves him bereft.
Most freeverse is left aligned as opposed to the central presentation prefered by rhyming poets and most freeverse poets don't capitalize every line regardless of it not being a true new line, however, the beauty of freeverse is there are no rules per se, nothing conform too, but a chance for the poet to orchestrate their own points with their own voice.
You did that!
-
-
But then I'm a left aligned rhyming poet! The capitals are a hang-over from my usual stuff, I shall now redo it without and see what I think, thank-you for that.

-
Yes I know this pain. I am sorry that it ends and begins all at the same time. Sigh. Head up man, tomorrow is another day and a good one.
-
Here is your day
given just to you
It is Tuesday
for all you wish to do
So, here is Your Tuesday
Spend it with care
Let all near here you say
My Tuesday, if you dare
-
If it's Tuesday, this must be Belgium.
-
If I were responsible for doling out days of the week, tuesday would always be yours, every single one......
Love
Sue
-
Sorry, Tuesday's taken. You can have Mondey. LOL, I like this it's a fun poem.
Love,
Amera

-
The way that Tuesday is taken is why I want it.
I'll just settle for the other six days and complain!
-
-

-
