A Do Dah Day Arrives

A contextual gray dulls the horizon’s lure, blending the sharper hues, softening the day’s rush like warm cotton batting awaiting a fine rump. Drizzle manifests, depressing, maudlin lackluster, shrouding the zip in the day, Uncle Remus frowns. Ole Br’er Rabbit would not come out! The blue birds hide waiting for sun. Ole Sol peeks. Remus smiles. Br’er hops in. Blue birds arrive SING!

Oh, I had a book as a little girl about brier rabbit... was it Disney? I am so tired, I'm loopy. Wrote that po! The clutter bug speaks! As for this, hope it does well in the contest. Such a cool blend! Hugs, Cyndi :-)
