Changeling

Woke up with a purpose
Weather matched my mood
Perfect day for a poem
Was all I could conclude

It's title came so easily
'Serving Sunday' rang loud and true
A description on a platter
Hopefully devoured by you

The who, what, when and where
My Sunday hours in verse
Every line, thought, desire and whim
In which I did immerse

Initially written out in draft
'Serving Sunday' came alive
But just before the final save
My day then ceased to strive

Did I jinx it, hex it, spoil it
Celebrating before the win
Took it all for truly granted
Without traversing thick and thin

Seemed like 'Serving Sunday' 
Wasn't giving in without a fight
No slowly drifting quietly away
Till moon dragged in the night

Pity 'Serving Sunday'
Didn't turn out like she might
But twisted in to a changeling 
With teeth sharpening her bite 

So now I stand here looking back
How the day simply escaped
Morphed in to, I don't know
But not Sunday-serving-shaped
