Scattered Rains of Yesterday

Scattered Rains of Yesterday

Crashing through yesterdays dreams
I collide with the reality of today
Bending
twisting
crumpling
into the pain
and the misery
locked on course
like an intercontinental
missle carrying
death and destruction
But all things pass or so it seems
bringing clear skies and sunshine
to brighten tomorrow
so that with misery gone
you can embrace
the new day
and dream
of the
scattered rains of yesterday

Oh Paw, a free verse treat.

Oh Paw, a free verse treat. I liked it very much, The title rocked. And your line choices and lack of punctuation. No specific story, such a non specific write. Wow. You must have had a differant vibe today. AND I LIKE IT! Kinda reminded me of a few of mine, or maybe you just rubbed off on me so much. OH WELL! ALL GOOD! My only complaint was bending, twisting, crumpling, what about warped, dangling limp the pain and misery, Differant vocab and minimizes repetition, just a thought. Julie D.D.

Who are you calling warped?

*LOL* I couldn't resist!, not bad. Will give them some thought. Thanks bunches daughter. In an odd mood with so much rain today. I am up to 96,648 words on my novel now. Wrapping things up soon with it. Respectfully, Rett: “Anyone who sacrifices liberty for security deserves neither.” Benjamin Franklin

Thank you xena

I appreciate it. Life has ups and downs, good and bad, rain and sunshine. Enjoy the one and it helps you get through the other. Respectfully, Rett: “Anyone who sacrifices liberty for security deserves neither.” Benjamin Franklin
