Freezing rain pelts sun drenched skin
Drips off hair blurring sight
Sunshine slips through driving rain
Blue sky overhead
Dark clouds look on dancing Sprites
Swallowed bedtime colors
Sunset drew its covers sadly
Another day’s lightness snuffed
Final dark pale grays
You can bring your self out of the darkness by watching love is blindness performed by Holly and Pauly at the Solstice Soirée 6 19 21. as part of he post Home Is Where The (He)art Is. I had asked Holly how Paul was doing since they hadn’t done Music From the Hearth is a while. She was so sweet to do this post.
Off Center & Not Even 
Very dark storm clouds on the left.
Thanks, David.
The clouds are like works of art…the golds peeking and pouring out of the grays are lovely accents. It’s amazing that you can take a photograph and write a poem that evokes an emotion of the place and time you captured.
Thanks, KT. While I was walking in the bosque yesterday evening, the sky was speckled with clouds, mostly blue skies, and a few dark clouds. The dark clouds rained on me. At our altitude, rain is always freezing cold. While the sun shone throw the clouds on the horizon the rain glistened on my skin, and dripped off my hair into my eyes. It’s very New Mexico to have sunshine, a lot of blue sky while getting soaked by rain.
Ah, a lot of the devil beating his wife out there. 😁 When I was a chid and the sun shone while it was raining, someone would always comment that the devil was beating his wife.
I’ve never heard that one. I didn’t know the Devil was married, but one would assume he would beat is wife. One the other hand, any demon of a woman knowingly marrying the Devil would surely beat the crap out of him. I’d rather deal with the Devil than any woman willing to marry that dude.
There’s an old Italian fairy tale about the devil disguising himself and marrying three sisters, one after the other. In the end, it didn’t turn out well for him.
Maybe the devil beating his wife is a Southern thing. I first heard it as a small child, and people still make the remark when the sun shines while raining to this day.
A very special kind of weather, Timothy! Thanks for your beautiful poem:)
You are welcome, Martina. Thanks, for stopping in.
I love the cloud images in that one, Tim. The stark white patch looks like a ghost conjured up. I see a head with a wild hairdo, with 2 eyes and a mouth and 2 arms, the rest of the body a wispy swirl.
Thanks, Lavinia. I think your ghost is my Sprite. There is a lot happening in the clouds. I got wet and yet no colors at sunset were offered.
That’s a dramatic sky Timothy, nice shot. i liked your poem too !
Thanks for the link you enclosed, it was a nice performance, I gave them a big “like” too 😉
Timothy this is lovely, truly. And again, right for just now x
Thanks, Shey.
That, my friend is an amazingly spectacular and dramatic sky and your poem intertwines perfectly!
Thank you for the introduction of Holly and Paul. I just visited. Beautiful artists, both!
Thanks, Marina. This sky’s for you! Holly are Paul are so much fun. Paul plays and sings in Planet Sandwich. You might enjoy them: https://youtu.be/BabIpWFtmXM
Awwwwww………….. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
[I will visit!]
Have you heard the Budweiser slogan “This Bud’s for you!”? Playing off that one, but I didn’t know they do that in Athens.
I remember it from the UK when I was studying there!
Reblogged this on The Reluctant Poet.
Thanks, you, Chuck. I appreciate it.
Always a pleasure to read and share great writing with followers, My Friend!! 😊✨👍
What a spectacular shot and beautiful poem.
Thanks, Dale. Happy you liked them.
Very much. You multi-talented gent, you!
I think it’s more working hard to not lose my mind and stay sane. I think forcing myself to be as creative as possible helps.
Ahhh… well, using your creativity is definitely a good choice!!
Clouds for the win yet again.
Thanks, Teri.
Some talented people, I am always happy to discover new musicians and artists! And your poetry and photos continue to impress me!😍

Wow, such a dramatic sky and so perfectly captured in your photo and poetry, Timothy. I so appreciate the sky vistas you have down there in NM, thanks for sharing them.

Thanks, Gabriela. Give your lovely kitties hugs and kisses for me. You get 7 hugs and 7 kitty kisses sent from here.
Thank you so much. They will be elated. 7 kitties. I keep thinking about that. I think I will get another one.
Definitely. It’s great to always have a kitty at hand. But it sounds like Maya is pretty much always at hand for you.
She is indeed. But I am still thinking to get another one.
That’s a good thought to have.
🙂
