there were pancakes this morning
a walk
and the sun is pouring in the window as I write
I went to Lowes
which I hate
and got cleaning supplies which I used
it’s a good Saturday
with friends later
and even though I don’t want to, I miss you

reflections from a teacher and mom of two toddlers...
Melancholy, yes. That last line hurt my heart a little.
The words fell together, painting a clear picture of a day, almost like any other…and then your final line hits like a punch to the gut. Rereading, I looked again for hints that it was coming, but felt it the second time around, too.
Yes, a melancholy poem, and oh so dear – so much to love in the first stanza, such a weight of missing in the final stanza. Beautiful.
What seems ordinary at the beginning packs a punch at the end. Unexpected, heavy with the weight of missing someone.
I agree with what Alice said. The ordinary and then that last line.
This poem says so much in such a short time! It’s really quite remarkable. Such a moving way to end it.
The last line leaves a worry and mystery for sure. I was good with the pancakes and Lowe’s and cleaning supplies, but that last line…
Oh! A beautiful slice, and then the last line, a powerful, sincere, melancholy slice. And then I had to reread it a few times once I knew the ending.
Wow, like everyone else said, the sadness of those last three words is palpable. I too had to read it several times. Peace.
