The Break from Stress!!!

A long week runs with days unending.

Every step struck with its ache.

Every push came with a stake.

"More results," the boss scowled.

He would have our sweat to its last.

Every sunrise scared me to the marrow.

I would work like there was no tomorrow.

Dusk until dawn was all I had for myself.

My employer would make sure rest was a luxury.

And stress was my reward.

Whispers flew round about to those willing.

We gathered to ease off our troubles.

Right under the constellation of stars

Where we parked the caravan

We dined and drank, forgetting our sorrows.

WHAT I SEE, WHAT I FEEL

This is my entry to Freewriters picture prompt.

I see a caravan parked under the constellation of stars
I feel the caravan and stars are a getaway from stress by people that long for it.

Thank you for reading through. I would love to have your comments and contributions 🤗

Its great to dine and wine at times, it's a criteria for a healthy living because all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

Scolded by the employer... If stress is the reward it's high time to look for a better work environment.
Good, there is a way to distress.

A nice poet you wrote. 👍
