A Changing Day

Today was a wonderful day, though it was cloudy, It started out being mundane, dull, and uneventful When someone close to me came by to say howdy Today was a wonderful day, though it was cloudy. Then, we decided to take a ride, nothing rowdy We spoke of losing our spouses, rather resentful, Today was a wonderful day, though it was cloudy It started out being mundane, dull, and uneventful. written July 31, 2021

Thank you, Jo. Yes, now and then we all have those kinds of days, but they can and do often get brighter!

Milton, you have created a fantastic triolet. I appreciate the flow and the excellent language, especially this line: "It started out being mundane, dull, and uneventful."

Thank you, Lasaad. Yes,occasionally, a small thing can happen which changes the mood of a day completely.
