Scowling Morn

Ink the daytime sky Threaten the naked forest with your angry Scowl… Banish the persistent prongs of sun Linger in the black eye of the on coming storm… Your bluster will not daunt the trill of bird song, bright messengers of spring for all that’s fresh and new will still abide. Revel intense in the depth of borning Stir the broth of nascent swamp and glen Bring with abandon the bounty of rain. End joyously in the persistent prongs of sun.

So good. I've been busy with work, one of my shorter absences. I need to find my touch again, I forced myself to be a more realistic writer, to tame the wild beast that was my pen, but I feel I miss the times when I would just let fly and come up with my best poetry, when now I approach every poem methodically, and I find it lackluster. For that I envy you, for it seems you've tamed your beast yet it has gained in beauty.

You allow us to see the thunderstorms coming, Deb. Rain is usually a good thing. Sometimes in Florida, especially during hurricane season, we get "too much of a good thing." Enjoyed your poem. Love, Carolyn

The growing pains of Spring ring out! Nice job personifying the blithe and boisterous counterparts of the Spring tempest.
