Predictable

predictable rise
 who knows
deer in the road
traffic woes

blackened skies
amidst the hush
parting clouds
a dawning blush

weather forecast
rain or snow
either or
unpredictably so

what ever happens
inside this day
uncontrollably
we have no say

Caren Krutsinger Date: 12/6/2019 7:33:00 AM It is important to realize we are not in charge, only living here on borrowed time. Great poem. Login to Reply Sandra Adams Date: 12/6/2019 10:17:00 AM I couldn't agree more...Each second of borrowed time is a gift... thank you my friend... hugs

John Hamilton Date: 12/5/2019 9:49:00 PM Nice little ditty Sandy, I hit a deer last year poor thing! Login to Reply Sandra Adams Date: 12/6/2019 10:17:00 AM i hit my first a few years ago right in front of the cemetery my dad's in...it jumped the fence and landed in the road in front of me, no time for any reaction other than ugh...he went airborne ...sadly... Thank you so much John :) hugs

Na Na Date: 12/5/2019 5:32:00 PM Hi Sandra wonderful poem. We hit a deer the other week. Took off the bumper. What kills people is they swerve to miss it. Just hit the deer. Thanks for sharing this. Best of luck in the contest Login to Reply Sandra Adams Date: 12/5/2019 6:00:00 PM ouch, sorry to hear you hit one, glad you are okay... insurance company says swerving is worse, if you can't avoid it, then hit it... thank you so much Greg... hugs :)

It was a busy road but very early. I stopped and waited for him to find his way across the road but I see many that did not fair so well. Thank you my friend :) hugs

Hello There Date: 12/5/2019 12:00:00 PM So true! Anything can happen on any given day, and we have little to no control over any of it ~ that we can predict! ;) Awesome piece of writing, Sandra!

Chris Green Date: 12/5/2019 11:00:00 AM And Sandy posts a rhyming poem which was definitely unpredictable but so beautifully done that I hope it becomes the opposite. Loved this my friend and yes...the weather, can't think of anything that is predicted so much for something so unpredictable. Best wishes in the contest Login to Reply Sandra Adams Date: 12/5/2019 11:11:00 AM a centered rhyming poem....so unpredictable of me... this day was weird...a deer standing in the middle of the road, confused, the black mountain of clouds, the little break just beneath with a bright blush... Thank you my friend... hugs
