Partly Cloudy Always

Partly cloudy always (on the inside)
though outwardly
with mostly fair skies showing;
rare sporadic chances of sunbursts;
little chance of precipitation ever
(big girls don’t cry);
20% chance daily
of low-moaning wind:
the forecast of myself
on any given week.

I really liked this metaphoric write. I am sorry to learn that your sky is partly cloudy. Definitely the sun will be shining down one day.

Rare conditions keep me from living the life I used to lead. I don't even travel any more. I thank God I enjoy writing and watching TV because I practically live on my bed! With my back against something like a chair or pillow, I don't feel the sensations always on my back. Thanks for reading and commenting. I do try to stay as happy as I can

Hello Andrea, It goes without saying that this work has your original stamp on it. A poem for perceptive minds who value atmosphere and self revelation. Your kind report on Himalayan Monal means so much. Howard
