Notes About The Poem

Image result for pictures of lightning storms

Thunderstorm

Thunderstorm, deluge, lightning flash
Bird songs hindered suppressed
There is a soft morning after
Doves sing, their coos expressed

Solid gray paint coats the blue sky
Rain droplets wait to drip.
Upon each coated leaf they sit
Available for birds to sip

Lightning's power displayed last night
Jolted the water pump
End results no water today
No house work ~ no grump 

I have found that what is not done today awaits tomorrow..LOL
In regards to housework, the dishes that need washing or loading have doubled in 
one day, etc..

Lately I've been burning the proverbial candle at both ends...I warmly welcome any and every excuse to slow things down, if only for a day. Beautiful poem and clear, vivid imagery. Thank you for sharing this poem. =) *7*

Procrastination ... it gets the best of us. I like when you add your little tidbits of humor in your poetry, Sarah. Your best images, in my opinion, were in stanza two where you're comparing the rain and sky to paint dripping ... loved that section!

Procrastination is the thief of time... a wonderful poem with powerful phrasing and imagery. Well done Sara! Best wishes, Keith

Yes, procrastination does eliminate getting done today what could be done today..I have gotten so old that sometimes it just has to wait until later though..Thanks for the visit and for taking time to comment..Sara
