Rainy Day in America


wetwalking she crept
into darkened oldwoods
bumblebush wept
missing sweetgoods

teardropleaves watch
fairies hiddenbreath wish
forgivenot bitter scotch
weave hopeful freshstitch

sisterthorns together cry
tornfists stitched anew
silkhands won’t comply
our earthbodies stay true

      • I noticed the fun you were having with the wordplay. Word mashups can bring a whole different feel than using the words separately.

        Thank you for saying so Bridgette. I understand where you are at, if not the context — we all have to take care of ourselves first. The writing will still be there if and when you decide to drop by. No rush, pressure or worries. ❤

      • Thanks Michael. Yes, it was fun to play around with combining sounds and creating a different rhythm. You make it look effortless.

        I’m trying hard to self-publish my short story collection while also doing all the other things my life demands, but I will stop by soon. I miss your writing and I’m glad it will be waiting for me to binge soon.

    • Thank you for the kind comment and the love. These are all in my wild backyard and maybe I was feeling a sense of nostalgia when I took them. It’s easy to wish for simpler times when my kids were small and we had nothing more to do than count the raindrops on the branches and search for snails. Hope you are well.
