Daily, reserved seat
Focused on another hour—
Game show fanatic
Exhausting workweek
Looking forward to weekend—
Sleeping through big plans
Vacation’s first day
RV takes turn for the worse—
Sidelined for repairs
Weekend rains offer pause
Autumn’s final harvest on hold
Testing farmers’ patience
Temperatures fall, growing cold
Another falling leaf
Afternoon’s cheery cup of tea
Looking through window’s glass
Visions of backyard’s empty tree
Book’s bold invitation
Immersed within mystery’s plot
Welcoming each minute
Story plunges with missing yacht
Day’s gentle, soothing peace
Lost in memories, freshly found
Feeling blessed with each gem
Past wants to hang around
Nightfall now closes in
Rain drizzling, without pause
Hearing silence unwind
Weekend’s spirit cuddles nonstop
Bed and Breakfast invites
Weekend relaxation
Away from city lights
Delightful plantation
Pace of life taking pause
Shangri-La’s sweet bouquet
Morning’s welcoming hosts
Breakfast’s homemade entrees
Warm hospitality
Conversation and more
Informal ambience
Window view of lakeshore
Scene repeating each day
Taken from writer’s prose
Like reading Hemingway
Fragrance of blooming rose
Enchanted visit ends
More memories to write
Return engagement booked
Weekend’s welcome starlight
Weekend sails at dawn
Taking pause from work
Leisure setting sail
Life catches its perks
Respite time knocking
Relief from week’s stress
No agenda waits
Saturday brings less
Lazy day ahead
Nothing on day’s scope
Extra morning time
Coffee’s horoscope
Sadie holding leash
Ready for her walk
Sun’s delights greet us
Sharing, we both talk
Taste mid-morning brunch
Sweet morsels waiting
Fruit-filled muffins baked
Hunger abating
Afternoon nap calls
Cozy spot surveyed
Blessed Saturday dreams
Respite’s lasting crusade
The inspiration for this poem comes from spending an overnight stay with Sadie, an English Lab. She served as the perfect hostess while her family was away.
Free and quiet morning
Saturday adorning
Reading God’s Holy Word
Clear thoughts, no longer blurred
Sun rises and brightens
Calmness breathes, enlightens
Workweek taking its break
Making buckwheat pancakes
Listening to new song
Beat of life moves along
One more coffee cup sings
Caffeine never hamstrings
Good vibes fueling this life
Waiting for lovely wife
Looking forward as one
Day brings plenty of fun
Watching Buckeyes’ football
Scarlet and Gray now call
Excuse our loud cheering
Assisting team’s steering
Night closing and ending
Sleep soon, not pretending
Each week’s sweetest, fun day
Always, be Saturday
Big Sky Buckeye
