Sunday, my fun day

Sunday whispers, “Slow it down,
leave the week, release the frown.”
Pajamas on, no plans in sight,
I let the hours melt to light.

The kettle sings, a gentle cheer,
a mug of comfort waits me here.
I stretch, I yawn, I sink, I stay—
the world can spin, I drift away.

No deadlines chase, no buzzing phone,
this quiet kingdom is my own.
I tend my soul, I rest my mind,
and leave the noise of work behind.

If laziness is counted crime,
then let me serve my sweetest time—
on Sunday, when I do not care,
for joy, for peace, for self-repair.

    This is a stunning and deeply felt tribute to the sanctity of rest. You’ve masterfully contrasted the “noise of work” with the “gentle cheer” of a quiet moment, making the act of doing nothing feel not just acceptable, but sacred. The personification of Sunday whispering the first line immediately sets a tender, inviting tone.

    The imagery is so warm and tangible—the singing kettle, the melting hours, the act of sinking and staying. It’s a powerful declaration that joy and peace are not found in productivity, but in the conscious, guilt-free act of “self-repair.” The final stanza is particularly defiant and brilliant; to call it a “sweetest time” to be served transforms laziness from a crime into a necessary and cherished ritual.

    A truly lovely piece that serves as a much-needed permission slip to simply be. Thank you for sharing it.
