2 poems for a cloudy day
it’s sprinkling in late June
You prefer a raincoat versus an umbrella so you can hold more interesting things in your hand
involuntary memories turn into day dreams so grand,
a tiny sun ray that you felt would expand,
into ice cream on the beach in the sand, orange peel and passion fruit melt while you tan,
you’re taken away on a trip never planned
you’re wearing sunglasses on a cloudy day
you traverse over fallen leaves while more are falling, there’s plenty left on the tree to fall the rest of the eve
thinking about them often but not for too long,
you never figure anything out you just move on
It isn’t a step you do but something you experience
wanting is more than having, it doesn’t make sense..

So many great lines.
I was gonna say the drop right at the beginning was the best but it’s not
it’s just like an opening downbeat that just kept hitting.
Even when we move into the second poem the bolding works in place.
The ending is perfect with two periods. And you …..yes !
All I need from LexPoMo are your comments Coleman! Thank you! I appreciate you noticing the small details
These poems will leave me “thinking about them often, but not for too long.”
I so enjoyed this little jaunt!
love the way rhyme drives the first section
