i hear my demon knocking on my door
this morning
demon: knock knock
me: nope,
not taking solicitation today
go away
i hear my demon walking back and forth
in front of my door
anxious
wanting to come in
demon: happy monday
me: which part of no that you don’t understand?
you are not welcomed today
and not ever
i hear my demon sighing
rejected
no choice but
to walk away, for now
caution,
it’s never gone completely
its smell
still lingering
somewhere around here
lurking
waiting for the right moment
to sneak its way in
perhaps
no knocking next time
so,
i’ll keep my guard up for now
maybe put up a sign
for my dear neighbors
it reads,
“watch out, loneliness is looking for a victim today”
“Happy Blue Monday and I’m sending warmth to you. Here’s thinking of you.”

You have beautiful blue this week!
Hope you can find time to peek at my blues, thanks a bunch!
I did, Ms. Burrito. Thank you for stopping by. I’m sure I’ll see you around on some other sites
Pretty blue background behind the leaves!
I can’t take the credit for the picture because I didn’t take it, but I chose it specifically because it’s not all cold blue, but it has some orange tone to reflect warmth, hence, title of the picture: Warmth.
Happy Blue Monday!
Keep that demon at bay!
I will, Annette. I take it one day at a time. Thank you for stopping by.
