Poem Artwork

clouds and rain
reflect how i'm feeling
perfectly.

where is the
sun that used to shine so
beautifully?

gone.  banished
to the far side of the
earth.  the long

dark comes:  not
even the moon will show
her face.  and

i, under,
linger in the shadows
of sadness.

(c) 2009, Karla Dorman (11/29)

to savor the sunshine we must endure the gray and overcast -- I am not a gray and overcast person myself Karla -- couple that with frigid temps and wind, brrrrrr! -- Spring cannot come quick enough to please me -- peace and love my dear friend -- Jon Michael

I like how you show the link between moods and the weather. We wilt with no sun. Hugs,

You are a Star Child my dear. You reflect your moods from the weather and you are the bomb when it comes to that!

Sorry to see you so sad, Karla. Sometimes the late Isaac Asimov
makes me laugh. Like when he asks: What is chicken teriyaki?
And answers: The name of the only living Japanese kamikaze pilot.

Oh Karla. I'm sorry. Beautiful poetry. One time when I was feeling the same way I rented like 12 hours of Laurel and Hardy and watched it for an entire weekend. I can't explain why; but by the end of it all, I was in stitches. It really works. Try it.

I so can relate to this poem. We have had four days of clouds and rain, yesterday was the first time the sun actually stayed out for most of the day. Today, again, cloudy...I am not quite sure what is up with this weather pattern, but it surely keeps me down a bit. I am a sun person, and I need it to keep me thriving. Nice poetry, Karla.
Peace, love, and light,
Amber "V"

A bring together of mood & atmosphere, that's what poetry can do with its own created images, or at least we attempt it. Go long in the dark querida, saludos

I wish I knew what to do to make you happy, but then again, I'm in the same boat, with Christmas coming up and not being able to get you anything. That really bothers me. You are under so much stress, and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. Powerfully penned sadness; well done!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :( *Tears!*
