Just Because

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

    Just becasue is always the answer to everything. When in doubt of what reason to give, 'Just because' works just fine. Nice poem.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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