Andrew Crisci Poet Dodoitsu

Ah, May Can Be So Dreary

It's a miserable day,
steady rain chills skin and bones,
and hearing how hard it pelts:
I transcribe its mood!

Ah, May can be so dreary...
not wonderful as usual;
all trees weep for its sadness:
they miss the sunshine! 

It's eight o' clock on Friday,
kids head to school so slowly;
there won't be happy smiles,   
no playing outside!

I add sugar to coffee,
it will soothe the somber feeling;
sweetness breaks down the thick blood,
it tones down sadness!

Ah, May can be so dreary;
flowers drenched in rain mourn
the radiance of spring sunrays...
as their petals droop!

Eve Roper May 6, 2017 at 4:33 PM Andres, we did have some bad weather here a few days back with a few tornadoes causing havoc and it does bring the moods down... enjoyed reading ~* Andrew Crisci May 6, 2017 at 6:06 PM Greetings, Eve. Thank you for you kind comment. Sorry to hear about the horrible weather where you live. We only had heavy rain for a night. The next day was just showers. I hope that the fear by now is gone. I hope you are coping with the disastrous situation. I am going to pray for you and your family. Keep your faith, God never forsakes us even when the going gets tough. Stay well and try to cheer up by listening to happy music or reading inspiring verses. Hugs, Andrew.
