Pondering  a l o n e  on melancholy,
As pain  keeps  me    far    from  being  jolly,
Those black clouds and the sun  h i d i n g  behind
the rain-kissed breeze blow  crisp  thoughts to my mind,

Wondering, I hone my  p o e t i c  skills,
Inspired by  c r e a t i o n's  mind boggling thrills,
The  duet  of  birds  w a f t s  through  rhythmic  rain,
As   words  b u i l d  up  midst  the   m a z e   of   my   brain,

Wandering through known recesses of  m i n d,
My  muse  roused  from  sleep,  I  gladly  now  find
refreshing    r e f l e c t i o n s    from    Nature's    well
b r e a k   my   spirit   free   from    w o e b e g o n e    spell.

I suppose we all get moments of melancholy, Jo. But while some stumble under their weight, others find the means to move on. Nature and poetry can be uplifting allies. Love this poem, and its presentation. Regards // paul

Wow Jo , my kind of poetry the Rhyme is still my favourite. Writing poetry is indeed a cure for sorrow, it breaks the spirit free to roam the beautiful territory of the mind finding refreshing reflections. I love this poem and a fave...Maria
