Notes About The Poem

Bleak days can bring down my mood. Not depressed, but not energised. Finally went to the grocery store after it turned dark. Funny how the darkness is better than looking at an overcast day. 

Overcast

clouds cold subduing, suppressing entity, inhabitant activity ambivalent bone-chilling inhale brilliance of sun stark shining dreams embodiment of exuberance

I couldn't agree more with how gray days can sap our energies and slow the flow of our Muses creative juices. Nicely done, Kim.
