April Showers

A ghostly mist hangs in the air, as greyish clouds morph into rain. And spinning a web of despair, a ghostly mist hangs in the air. And till the day looks less threadbare, Red Robins delay their refrain. A ghostly mist hangs in the air, as greyish clouds morph into rain. Red Robins delay their refrain, depressed by cold April showers. Greeting foul weather with disdain, Red Robins delay their refrain. It's hard to accept constant rain, despite the promise of flowers. Red Robins delay their refrain, depressed by cold April showers. Despite the promise of flowers, raindrops only launch paper dreams. For it's been pelting down for hours; despite the promise of flowers. Over time, my happy mood sours, but no one hears my silent screams. Despite the promise of flowers, raindrops only launch paper dreams.

wow, what an intricate poem you've written! I've never heard of an intertwining triolet. I'm so impressed! But I have to confess, I love rain. I can remember only a few times that I've been upset because it's raining... Love your poem dear Emile... hope your weekend is going well.

Thanks Becca, I have nothing against the rain...I just wished it would be little more spread out, it's May, we should be swept up with spring, the sun, the leaves and the flowers, but all we are getting day after day is rain, I appreciate your comments, Emile.

I enjoyed this poem... how it made me growl; eliciting an emotional response is the success of art after all ;) 7! xomo

A somewhat different take on the theme than what others say usually ... but the perspective has been poetically highlighted very nicely ... A beautiful triolet ... Enjoyed reading ...
