Notes About The Poem
Love displayed..He is going to have to feed her and help feed the young for a few weeks ..She is making sure that she can trust him..Sara

Solid Gray Crocheted Shawl

Solid gray crocheted shawl veils sky.
Fringes reach down cover
distant hills, swift creek nearby.
Dampness reigns, just seems to hover.

Cool, but not cold wind softly blows.
Red Cardinal high up
supported only by tree bow.
Great trust has in ancient back up..

Eerie stillness erupts 'pon air
The silence before storm
Then the rain begins, unawares
of possible alarm.

Just comes down without any cares.
A plan, designed, a vow.
Of its potential danger unawares
Rain_ flooding storm allow?..

Rain without flooding the earth.
God's promise from above
Giving the first rainbow its birth
In the quiet, feel God's love....

Finis!

Your description of the sky and damp haze is just like the weather we had here for the past couple days, Sara. Your poem has beautiful imagery and I love the last line's message. Let me know when the poem is finished, okay? Love, Carolyn
