This Gloomy Day

June 15, 2004

I am sure that everyone has heard the lyrics "rainy days and Mondays always get me down." What about "a gloomy day this Tuesday?" That is what it is today. It seems to make a person do things differently than what they would normally do. How about playing a game of dominoes and win? Beat the master of the game. Or, pick up an unfinished project and complete it. Such satisfaction. Create something unique like crochet around a strawberry basket. Why? Why not. Grab the mountain dulcimer, go out on the front porch and just fram away. Who cares who is listening? A gloomy day this Tuesday will not get me down. Perhaps pick up a pencil and pen a poem.

This Gloomy Day

Heavy air wraps his arms
too tightly around my chest.
I sigh and try
to create a bantam of a breeze.
Mimosa blossoms drop with a plop
plump with high humidity.
Hummingbirds flit and feed,
don't seem to mind,
not the bees nor beetles,
bluebirds,
or the butterfly.
Why then should I?

Spoken Word, refers to performing or involving a performance of the spoken word (poetry): "Whenever, a newspaper, covers the poetry world, you can bet you will find spoken word and street poets railing against the prudishness of the 'academic poets'" ~Maureen McLane.
