On a Dull Day

When looking out her window She noticed the day was dull No sunshine shining brightly The ground is covered with snow While she looked at the snow She noticed that it was not tedious It was not as bad as she thought She was content with the day She realized that the sun Does not always shine Dull days come out to Then changes to brightness

An amazing thought...There is always light in the darkest part it's just the matter of time we look for it... A great pen! Have a great day :)

The snow is so pristinely white and sparkly, it makes the world lovely. Exactly!

Hello Caren, when the snow spreads on the ground it is lovely. It is like white icing on a huge cake. Hugs Darlene

Ah but you can make a dull day bright just by doing something you like to do or by doing something FOR someone. Just because the sun is hiding you don't have to be a gray and the day. Good stuff here. God Bless, JB

True.. Guess what, we are having a beautiful rainy down out here... It rained cats and dogs... Clouds are still very heavy. But I am not going out. I am in my blanket. Lol

Wow an awesome poem inspiring positivity in dull days. Yet snow is exotic for us we'd be bouncing if we saw snow. The muse is beautiful to read . Kudos! Plz do read and comment my newest poem too.

Noh we have the mildest winters here in Tanzania, and the rest of seasons too though autumn isn't that noticeable. We mostly seem to have forever springs and summer. Winter is an exotic foreign season for us.
