The Sky

The sky can’t decide
If it’s blue or it’s gray.
The clouds, filled with rain,
Aren’t going away.

The sun, mostly hidden,
Entices the birds,
While raindrops sneak out,
Dripping onto my words.

This morning I walked,
Getting thoroughly drenched
But beneath this strange sky, now,
I’m gladly entrenched.

It is fun how fast you can go from a lovely sprinkle to a drenching; you described our morning here.

What a lovely, sweet little poem, Ilene. You have painted a marvelous picture of the day. I love the lines "While raindrops sneak out, Dripping onto my words." Yeah!

From the news reports, lucky you were not washed away like Trump's tax returns! Thanks for the laugh!
