    Poem Commentary

    Hold on to your Starbuck's mugs, lol! This one is sort of a counterpart to Night of the Snow Moth. Both of these could have taken place somewhere on the same exact land - in opposite seasons and hours. This is the one that Mlea and I collaborated on. Hope everyone likes!

    "Tomorrow's Sun"



    One partly sunny day I partly thought
    Who is He that judges partly?
    And who am I if it weathers not?
    For without the rain, I'd likely not be.

    In the sun and rain I always partly
    Wished some thunderheads would appear
    And wished for another as if too brightly
    Shined the sun, or even the brighter clouds.

    The rainclouds came for all the blooms that day
    Fleets of April memories sailed
    As the blue skies drifted to a land away
    And the sun for a little longer stayed.

    The shale midday released its silver rain
    Yet the skies went ever deeper
    Waters fell and fell as if to explain
    That spring was the only season tended.

    Like an early dusk, the day seemed away
    Like the teal of a false morning
    As the rains, the seas of yesterday
    Came pouring down over the future days.

    The rain slowed as blue filaments bounded
    The trees whispered off their droplets
    The sun refreshed, as if it hadn't minded
    As the day meandered, rushed back to life.

    I partly teared as a rainbow fully
    Anchored quietly to the hills
    And spoke in the wetted meadows wholly
    And I saved some rain for tomorrow's sun.

    Aye what a beautiful ode and salute to the elements that keep our system going. Only a dreamer could write this one........... And, the world needs more dreamers because dreams do come true. Amen

    Lol, your compliments are the epitome of flattery and brevity! Frankly, I agree more with your nature bit - nature is a trip, and provides endless writing topics. Ty again!

    "The shale midday released its silver rain" — wow, can I buy this line from you? And so many more lines that are simply cosmic, my friend. This is a masterpiece of metaphorical brilliance.

    Thanks! Actually, it's a fairly common theme for poetry - I just tried to do something unique with it is all. Ty again.

    Ty! Uh oh, now you gotta read Night of the Snow Moth because these two were counterparts, lol! I'll be reading more of yours. Ty angel!

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
