Notes About The Poem

Date written: 07/22/2019

Murphy's Law

        certainly 
not my kind of day
disenchantment 
             hovers above
a sad heaven 
             about to cry
brooding,
      ominous 
nimbostratus clouds
             and trees 
                       blot out
afternoon sun rays
fruitful expectations 
           sprouted...
barring a multitude 
of ripe hopes,
        yet, unforgiving fire 
did rage...
 and reduced them 
to rubble and ash.
            a saturnine day
even mockingbirds 
      refuse to sing.
all was right 
             just yesterday! 
what happened?
