    Contradicting Day

    Two crows flew by my window this morning.
     One to the North the other South.

    The morning's cold
     and beautiful

    Clouds mottle the sky gray
     but there's some blue with light

    A stop sign lay on the ground
     the red signal bold, to bright

    Crow one flew close to the window
     It frightened me

    Number two maybe a block away
     Inspiring me

    It seems my day is to be all contradictions.

    There are frequent occasions when I, too, don't know whether I'm coming or going. Nice write.

    Unfortunatel or fortunately, this is the case for me most often. However, I am learning to enjoy the contradictions or the contrast and find more fun in them. Thank you so much for your kind words !

    Sometimes the decisions are difficult to make what appears as a warning might be the sign to go ahead. Now if a crow were to make a nest in you pocket and bring home a gold locket; you would know for sure to stay put. And not do anything at all. Try whistling a tune while sitting in a rocking chair. Sometimes that will release the clouds in the sky. A poet friend// RH Peat

    I can't keep the poet from sticking his eyeball to the crack in the wall. what can I say. Keep writing. A poet friend// RH Peat

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
