Rainy Day Recluse

Another rainy day they say, will follow on tomorrow. The fact I cannot bail the hay leaves me full of sorrow. It's so long since the sun shone. I feel like a recluse. Unless it changes by morn, my hay will be kaput. For now I sit in my comfy chair. The fire is brightly lit. My old LPs are on the player. From my poteen I take a sip. The music of days gone by. I hum along to the tunes. Every now and then I sigh, to think of my hay in ruins. 28/06/2017 For Broken Wing's contest as below: New, Dated, poem on the theme of .............1. Rainy  2.  Rapt  3.  Recluse  4.  Ruin Using any R form from the list of forms on this site. Title is theme word plus 2 words.

'Tis not me who holds the scythe Daniel, but my Granda long dead. Funny enough I have already followed your advice regardless.

I think make hay whilst the sun shines applies to your poem Jean and sadly we do see crops destroyed by the weather which has been horrid recently. My fuchsias are in need of bouyance aids at the moment:-( hugs Jan xx

It's raining here as we speak Jan so the poem had help from the elements this morning. I love my garden after rain.
