Sandra Haight Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Split Personality

Most times she wakes with radiant, full smile
   and eyes of blue that sparkle neath the sun.
To be around her lifts our spirits while
   her upbeat nature spreads to everyone.

For days, this personality can last,
   and spending time with her brings happy cheers.
But then one morning she can turn so fast
   and wakes up sad and dark with flowing tears.

Those days create glum weariness with fears
   her sunny smile, now gone, brings us malaise.
We now must deal with bouts of falling tears
   and modify our life through stormy days.

Her name is 'Weather' and she's such a tease-
   with come-and-go split personalities.

Connie Marcum Wong May 23, 2016 at 4:40 AM Excellent Sandra! I sure didn't see the end coming. I thought maybe you were writing about bi-polar personality. I loved your entry! #7. ; )

Brian Davey May 23, 2016 at 2:20 AM I like the take you gave on this contest incorporating the weather as the one with a split personality (which she does have). Congrats on your placement Sandra Sandra Haight May 23, 2016 at 4:25 PM Thank you for another great contest and for my nice placement! Sandra
