Daily Prompt on Haiku, one for each of five days:

 

mon

alarm ringing change

dawn, the sabbatical ends

for sleep leaden eyes

 

tues

rise coffee phoenix!

drowsy afternoon ashes

reincarnation

 

weds

packed trains, laden minds

blank faced in contemplation

filing our regrets

 

thurs

work hard, get married

buy a house, and buy a car

have kids, have kids. die

 

fri

i tie my own chains

freedom embraced in farewell

a wage slave again

 

END
