In the depths of January's blustery cold The poet's life in poems slowly unfolds A mood of blue is often set Melancholy seems to be her usual cuddly soft pet But sometimes the table is quickly turned Out pours some humor that she learned Maybe she's bipolar like it's called today At least a ray of sunshine came her way Form used 7,7,7, 9 words per stanza, Rhyme scheme aabb, ccdd

Bipolar makes for some uncertain moments, for sure. I'm glad she found some sun.

M.L., Thanks for dropping by. Yes, a person with true bipolar is probably hard to figure out. Sara

"Maybe she's bipolar like it's called today" Funny how we want to label every person and quirk now. The 7779 cadence is so much fun to read, I am going to try it myself.

Thank you Caren. I hope you do try it. Sara

Alexis, We do need a little ray and sometimes a whole day's worth. Sunlight does have healing effects on the body and in winter it feels so good. Thanks for stopping by. Sara

Is it the cold blues! "Melancholy seems to be her usual cuddly soft pet " isn't it everybody poet's! So beautifully expressed in terms of the cold. "Out pours some humor that she learned" Delightful imagery! "Form and Rhyme scheme" from the first Haiku i figured you are a complete poet. Thanks - Marshall

Sara Kendrick

Marshall, I think I lean towards melancholy because it is a personality trait that is inherited. Your presence at my page was uplifting. Sara

A most wonderful and a very creative new composition. Depth, imagery rhyme and heart all score. Soupmail sent on the final verse. A fav.. God bless..

I miscount myself so often in my compositions that usually I have to do three counts to be sure. And those last minute -edits- get me so often. This is indeed a brilliant first outing in this new Lind30 poetry form. Thank you for gifting a wonderful new poem that hits the marks. God bless.

Robert, I did add a word to correct how I thought it would sound and that was when I made the error of having ten words. Whoa!! Thanks for the visit and for faving my work. Sara
