Poets and Storytellers United
Weekly Scribblings #32: I Am Explaining A Few Things
Prompted by Sanaa: Challenge today is to write inspired by the title of Neruda's poem Feel free to address the current world situation, or perhaps delve into a memory of your own. Challenge the reader, surprise us with humor and wit, go solemn and dark or perhaps tender and romantic. The possibilities are endless!

this gift of morning
let me explain a few things -
poems today's joy

alone with bird songs
how could this be you may ask -
that's the way it is

you were meant to be -
always in my heart even
though we are apart

some love stories stretch
the imagination to -
a span of azure

so today i cheer-
happy anniversary
sans regret to me

come morning sunlight -
this used to be our home
now its called my home

oh beautiful moon -
how i wish i could hold you
round and ripe for love

your stare is transfixed
how can we ever escape
your companionship

would we ever live
eclipsed from your brilliance
mystery augers well

Viewing the series 'Saimdang: Memoir of Colors' on Netflix. Luv this song.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Are you the blowing wind?
Are you the scattering flower petals too?
Beyond time, praying on something
Have you come to comfort me from sadness?
When the sun sets and the moonlight emerges
I see you over there....

tap on an icon -
this novelty in turning
no dog-eared pages

in my solitude
the wide television screen
wins from me a smile

the choice of romance
where no stars wear the mask -
the new old movies

What's there to smile about today? Tomorrow's moon. August’s Full Sturgeon Moon will illuminate the sky this weekend.
The full moon will appear Sunday and reach peak brightness on Monday.

The sturgeon, a large fish common to the Great Lakes and other nearby bodies of water, is most easily caught during this month.

I finished viewing the series 'Rookie Historian' on Netflix this week and thoroughly enjoyed this song.
ENJOY THE MUSIC


ENGLISH TRANSLATION HERE
The whole world was asleep and only you shined
On that day I first saw you
It was the start of going to you

Do you know? All the times I missed you?...
