One of Those Days

Don't know where this came from. Lack of sleep, character development. Not sure, but inspired by a friend who has clueless moments.

Hello
It is one of those days, isn't it?
One where you just can't help yourself.
You know you shouldn't, but there's no one around to stop you.
In 15 minutes, all the wine and peanut butter are gone.
You're horny as all get out.
There's something in the wind, there is.
Something in the wind.

Really? Well I can't be the only one.

The only one who thinks adorable little otters would make great pets.

Who wonders how they would react to peanut butter.

Wine? No thank you.

The house isn't so much as lonely as it is, vast.

Vast and full of possibilities.

Possibilities and pillows.

Not as mutually exclusive as you'd think.

Well don't look so...

so...

I can't say at the moment.

It may be because my toes feel like they've been dipped in ice cold water.

Oh, you feel it too?

No?

Must be the wine.

Or the otter.

Perturbed!

PSSSHT!

Did you feel that?

Well I did. In my bones, I felt it.

One of those days, a Thursday.

This must be Thursday

I never could get the hang of Thursdays.

Now where have I heard that before?

Hah!

Where did you go?

Was it something I said?

Brownie points if you can name the quote

I thought this was very funny. I liked how you used phrases such as "I never could get the hang of Thursdays" ( Hitchhiker's guide, so i get the brownie...point) so that it was sarcastically funny, and that just added to the weird one sided conversation that the character is having with herself. It was comically written, and I hope this review helps you more than if i just said "very good".

[Mandyy Reed]

Thanks for the review and I'm glad you thought it was funny. That's what I was going for.

There is something in the wind... Very poetic ...

[SHEEMA HUQ]

a really nicely written, lively and somewhat bewildering read, thanks! oh and structurally excellent.

This seems more like a personal poem rather than something you want to polish; to me all poems are personal and can't be critiqued, so my review might not be all that helpful in the way of criticism. I just wanted to stop by and say your poem is fun to read, odd, but fun.

This may be pointing out the obvious, but your poem seems like the stream-of-consciousness of a very quirky person (wine, peanut butter and otters?). Maybe I just didn't get the reference.

I can't name the quote, but I'd rather have wine than brownies any day.

Good job,
Connor Nickerson

You are correct about the stream-of-consciousness. And I don't care much to change it. Thanks for the comment.
