Sometimes It Rains On a Clear Sunny Day

At stroke of the dawn as the sun is rising Birds are chirping to awaken the morning From the trees that sway in gentle breeze Breeze that whispers melodic greetings Greetings that convey comforting feelings Taking a slow walk with musings alluring Humming the tune of romantic lyrics Lyrics that mesmerize a beautiful dream A dream that allures and keeps her waiting Embracing falsity when truth is illusive Ignoring a warning that he's just a fantasy A fantasy that culminates in futile reality A futile reality she must now contemplate Between real and illusive she now hesitates Not ever taking the blue-sky for granted For sometimes it rains on a clear sunny day August 1, 2018 Placed first in standard contest #155 by Brian Strand

Treading on the paths of fantasy, bypassing reality, fills only a momentary void. Best to keep our feet on the ground! Regards // paul

yes, it happens all the time, Rain when we least expect it in our lives. So we can take nothing for granted. Great poem with imagery and metaphor! I like how the last line of each stanza was related to the first line of the next stanza.
