APRIL and POETRY MONTH....Day 20

 

It rained most of yesterday.  Dreary rainy days get me really down. I don’t need anything else to make me sad.  As I sat listening to the rain hit against the window, I began to cry after calling to make the next appointment to visit my husband. As my waterworks flowed it rained. It triggered the piece I wrote. 
As I reflected it being a Monday, a daily thought popped in my head. I haven’t really written daily thoughts for awhile. 
Terry had two words yesterday; LILACS and ROSES.  I love the fragrance of lilacs; unfortunately my allergies do not. I wrote about them in both pieces; but roses only in one.  Growing up my step-grandmother had lilacs in the house during spring. We did not have a bush but she got them from a neighbor. In the summer roses took over.  My step-grandmother had beautiful rose bushes. There were always flowers in the house in summer.  She’d plant tulip bulbs in fall along the side of the house; we’d have them to enjoy when spring began.  
It’s Tuesday and like Monday it’s suppose to rain today again. 
Until tomorrow....have a good day and as always Stay Safe.

Rainy Monday....dreary day
I feel blue....melancholy overtakes me 
Raindrops from the clouds
Falling upon the ground 
Like the tears falling from my eyes 
Clouds and I have something 
    in common today 
The waterworks flowing....I am without   
   you

              DAILY THOUGHT 
Another Monday....a new week begins
Five days of waiting for Friday to end 
  The weekend starts....two short days
 Then Monday again....a never ending 
      cycle

                      LILACS 
 Lilacs perfume the air 
Their fragrance filtering into the house      
     through the open window
How lovely the white and purple 
    blooms on my bushes appear
Do I dare cut them to bring inside?
I rather leave them as is for all who pass 
   by to enjoy their beauty and scent

                      ROSES 
Roses in a crystal vase
Red, pink, yellow and white
Create a lovely table centerpiece 
How sad mine aren’t in bloom yet
Lilacs placed on each side of the 
     mantle 
An alluring fragrance throughout the
     house 
Such a shame lilacs will only last 
    through late spring
But then the roses will be flourishing 
  to perfume the home

    WACKY HOLIDAYS APRIL 19th
(National Amaretto Day; National Garlic 
  Day; National Poker Day and Bicycle 
   Day)

Garlic knots with my antipasto 
and garlic powder on my pizza
Amaretto cake for dessert 
I’ll need to brush my teeth before 
 heading out to play bar poker
But first need to take a bike ride to 
  get rid of some of the calories 
from lunch
