In The Nick Of Time POTD

the day I died
was a rainy one
but the sun came out
in the nick of time
I can laugh about it now
but it was a worry

I love everything about the rain, but I understand it can create a gloomy mood for some. So thankful the sun came out in the nick of time. :) Your thoughts hold many emotions. This is deep, with a little humor to lighten the mood. Congratulations Clive, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

Hi Clive, Thanks for the laugh still early in the am. It's a very witty take on death but if we all have lived and died a hundred other lives (some to believe in this), it makes a lot of sense. Congratulations on your POTD..It's great to be funny in these intense times we are living in. God Bless..

I've thought that, if it was sunny you would feel you were missing out! Amusing thought Regina, thanks for reading

Congratulations on your POTD. You have labelled your poem as light verse, but is it? To me, sounds deep.

Perhaps, I was going for light because of its "silliness", actually I think I might have inadvertently invented dark light verse, thanks for reading

Sometimes we worry over things, when it rains and when we go through somethings, to later when the sun rise, to look back and laugh over it. Although when things happen it definitely is not the most fun experiences. This is a deep poem. And i think many can resonate. Pleasure reading this
