Well today I finished reading poets in alphabetical order. Today was Lisa Zaran.
I read the three poems I found available by her. The alphabetical poet reading was educational for me. I found new poets; new poems and got brief history about those who I read.
The next few remaining days, I’ll pick poets at random to read.
As today is Sunday my three line thought came from my morning prayer. It’s close to what I said in prayer this morning. The poem I composed for today, came from bits and pieces of thoughts the past few days. We had rain on Friday and throughout Friday night into Saturday. As I laid in bed I thought about how dreary weather always got me down as a kid. I disliked having to walk to school in the rain, even though I had proper rain gear. I enjoyed light drizzles for walking, not major downpours. The past few days I wrote down fragments of stormy weather and sunshine days. The group The Carpenters had a hit sing “Rainy Days and Mondays”. I’ve always liked the song and I had recently heard it as instrumental on the music station on the television. After composing my poem for the day, the song came to mind again. We’ve all had rainy days in our life that got us into a funk; we’ve had sunny days that cheered us. The poem is a tragic love poem in my opinion or so that was my intent when I wrote it.
Yes it’s raining as I type up this blog. Three days in a row. I need to see some sun today even though I’m not venturing anywhere except the front yard.
Until tomorrow....think about the rainy days you encountered in your life; did the sunny days outweigh the stormy?
Day 26....THREE LINE THOUGHT

FOUL WEATHER

Sounds of thunder rumble in the distance
streaks of lightning flash across the sky
Standing at the window I peer out as the
rain showers the earth
quenching thirsty flowers
providing parched grass liquid
refreshment
Another stormy day in my life
Menacing weather gives me the
blahs....the blues....the doldrums
Dreariness of the day
dark gray clouds
cold chill from the precipitation
roaring thunder
lightning flashes
gusty winds
bring on the feeling of melancholy Gazing out the window at the raging
elements my thoughts wander
Stormy days of the past whirl through my
mind
Turbulent days I once encountered
tumble like tumbleweeds on the prairie
Rolling....
rolling....
rolling....
over....
and over....
and over
But........
each storm that ended......
gave birth to a new sunny day
turning my languish into joy
Blotting out the blues....deleting the doldrums....eliminating the blahs
Foul weather days of my life
replaced always by sunshiny blue skies
All but one........
the rainy day you said goodbye
