mobile phone call -
thunder and stormy winds
dull the volume

morning sky clearing -
golden clouds of my delight
that too will not last

as per usual
in the rainy season -
tossing window drapes

the phone icon green
shouting my conversation -
rain again today

Poets and Storytellers United
Weekly Scribblings #30: Writing as a Metaphor for Living
prompted by Magaly


DAY TO DAY
Each stanza of a poem applauds allusion,
For what is poetry, if not to be slowly savored
Like cherries plucked from an aged prickly tree
Long after the curtain comes down heavy, soft,
Silent, in velvet folds of meticulous grammar;
Call it fiction, for it becomes the stuff of dreamers,
No one wants the responsibility of reality;
The conflict is too great, the mood not right
For dying stars in dawn's pace of morning's rhythm
Edit the plot from dirge to sonnet where conflict
Of lovers and passion refuse the prose of politics
Word by word, step by step, day to day it's punctuation

What's there to smile about today?
the sweetness of God's decrees in these trying times and of course, if you can, buying fruit from street vendors again, Wednesday gone i bought delicious fragrant pineapple.
