Overcast sky
Like a lover’s mood
Gone sour
Rain clouds dancing
Waiting for the downpour
Looking for some relief
From the gray
Look for my beacon
To One Tree Hill
I make my way

What are neighbors for
If not to brighten your day
Pocketful of persimmon
Was my reward
To push my gloom away

Poetry is my passion. I am not a methodical writer. I have no set topics to write about. What I feel, perceive, think about, I will like to share in this blog. I open my mind to the world. Like the weather, sometimes my poems are cloudy, sometimes stormy. I always like to see sunshine streaming through the leaves of trees, so I hope I can share some of those sunshine with my readers.

Lovely! So bright and cheerful despite the gloom and unhopeful start! I see that I’m no longer following you which explains why I haven’t been getting any notifications from your blog. Rectified it.

In Silicon Valley by now I am accustomed being dumped,😀
Seriously though I think WordPress has an inherent issue of automatically” unfollowing” based on some hidden logic. Just couple of days back I saw that someone that I had been following regularly stopped showing up on my reader. I am still following but not seeing any post from the author. Had happened couple of times before and I had to delete and reinstall my mobile app.

I have a long string of notifications that come to my mail box, but I don’t know why those and not others. Some don’t seem to go anywhere at all. WP does a sort out of which follows are to be taken seriously; seems like.

Great idea to include some pictures between poetry lines. They also push the gloom away.

That’s a lovely ode to the gloom though dark clouds inspire beautiful lines of light lingering behind them. 🙂

Pictures very effective to show lightening mood – from gray to colorful. Nice.

Love how you overcame the gloom. Just because a day doesn’t start out right, doesn’t mean it has to stay gloomy.
