Slow-Moving Front

Thinking of Otis Redding…

There's a slow-moving front come in,
can you smell the flowers?

Yes, a slow-moving front's come in,
I been sittin' here for hours.

The leaden sky is darkly gray,
pregnant with spring showers.

Jogging my slow-moving frontal lobe,
from dreamy ivory towers.

Trying to compose my thoughts,
while making bridal bowers.

Slow-moving front's dragging by,
reflecting all my sorrows.

Slow moving job hunt passing by,
I been sittin' here in a haze.

Eatin' all my equity,
can't seem to change my ways.

Until that damn front passes by,
and I'll again see brighter days.

Yes, Ron. The two poems have the same sense of how nature brings moods with it--or do our moods color nature. (smile)

You are a prolific poet and, I see by your books, an author of a substantial library. I will read more.

Excellent pen, Ron, most compelling with strong images. The gray of the storm so often drags us down but the truth we know is that the sun is burning down determined to shine its light on us. A brighter day is on the way.
Take care,
Sherry

Symbolically powerful and engaging, Ron. I love storms (as long as they don't overdo it). Thank you for sharing this gift. Love and peace to you,

SLOW-MOVING FRONT makes concrete an experience that is not abstract per se but the kind of intangible(?) psychospiritual state that most would find daunting to describe in any terms. The swirl of associative imagery around the central metaphor makes this a hypnotic and masterful write.

Ron
Haunting and melancholy memories of the late and great Otis Reading " Sitting on the Dock of the Bay ", resonate in this mournful dirge...
Everything passes except God....
The dark clouds will roll away to reveal another glorious and sun kissed day over glorious Houston !!!
