Bucket List In Bed With Thunderstorms

A bucket list –In Bed with Summer Thunderstorms

A bucket under the leak in the roof has a solid hole

Next to the pail a trail of water and the bucket trembles

In the storm from the steady stream and into the night

Two holes one shelter one bucket one trailblazing journey

Is the bucket half full or is it half empty should I fix it?

Who is the roof and where goes the flow am I the bucket

To write poems under the leak please give me a waterproof pen

No paper needed I will write on the sheets and the wood of the rafter

Thank you Akkina. The leak is so very much fixed. My poems tend to leak out of the expected sometimes. Many wishes, Kai

Hi Kai.... When I saw the title, "the bucket list" I thought that you are too young to write a bucket list, but I was surprised when I read this nice poem.... regards.

Hi Jo. Absolutely fine. I admit that the end of the poem might seem very dark. But the light is shining here inside and outside. Many wishes and thank you for asking. Kai
