Last day of May—already!—last 42. I wrote this one during our week of hot summery weather and was hoping by the end of the month it would still be an accurate description. Dream on, Jane. Straight storms and solid rain is all we’re getting for a while to come, it seems.
This sky is full of light
birds’ egg blue
behind a tracery of green
and far beyond this daytime screen,
sea-mirror, blue planet echo,
the infinite blackness of space.

‘ The best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry ‘
I seemed like a reasonable sort of expectation. Not to be.
Well, it’s a lovely dream! 😉
Same weather here–we keep cancelling plans.
We went to Agen today and it was like being in Ireland. The weather changed every few minutes!
I hope some of the changes were good ones! 🙂
The rain stopping was a good change—starting again not so good 🙂
My husband just told me that now we have a flood warning for the whole weekend, and that we may get 5-6 inches of rain.
There was flooding a little way down river from us, but we didn’t get it. The ground is so sodden though it sighs in some places when you walk on it.
Oh–now you need to write a poem about sighing ground!
I just might 🙂 The first time I heard it I had a horrible feeling I’d trodden on something again!
Ewwww. Creepy!
There may be a break in the storms and the bue may make a brief visit. You ever know 💜
It had better do!
It will 😊
🙂
Charming, my dear.
Thank you kindly 🙂
It was lovely while it lasted. We actually have a reprieve from the stormy weather. Blue skies, cool breeze. But storms this afternoon are predicted. One day your dream will be a reality. 🙂 Thanks btw for this month’s challenge. I enjoyed it. 🙂
It was a good idea to play with. Glad you thought so too 🙂
It was. Thanks again for the inspiration. 😊
I haven’t had time to search around for another form for June. Might find time today.
You could try a Lune. http://poetscollective.org/poetryforms/lune/. There are two variations-one with syllable count and one with word count. 😉
Okay. Done one. Your turn.
Thank god, the humans can not really influence the weather. ;-)Michael
Except that they can, by melting the ice caps and causing havoc with the ocean currents.
But only over some decades Jane. How horrible the would do it during some years!
Given the age of the earth, some decades is pretty rapid!
