beautiful quiet comes
after the rain as
clouds grow softly
into blue and light falls
like tendrils blanketing
me in deep peace

rain song at dawn
nature’s sweet poetry
uses vivid watercolors
to brighten the earth

You might be deplorable,
horrible even, as adjectives go
no way to deny this despicable fact
actions speak louder than spin
indeed there are signs
lines boldly crossed
lost is all civil decorum
forums for haters draw furious mobs
snobbishly righteous,
outrageously rude
moot is all reason, truth doesn’t matter
flatter the barker, he’ll tickle your ears
fear’s the new master
disaster looms large
charges of treason for opposing views
booing and hissing vile, slanderous spew
you might be deplorable.

Another circular poem for Jane Dougherty’s Poetry Challenge. This one was churning in bits and lines in my notebook, like magnetic poetry that needed tweaking. 😉
Note: I had originally listed two poems in this post. I decided to give Raindrop her own voice. She moved HERE. 🙂
after it rains this world
becomes wildly alive
the air thick and sweet and
the earth vivid and wild in
deep shades of blue and green
life thrives best when wet

when planning for a lovely stroll,
with dog in tow,
to play some fetch
at river’s edge
take care to notice red dawn skies
-word to the wise-
you might regret
the plans you’ve set
if you ignore the coming storms
when you’ve been warned
you’ll feel the pain…
relentless rain.
