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.

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. ; )

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
