The Sunny-ish DayA Poem by Jonathan MatthewsWritten on a day when it was sunny during class, and cloudy between.
This day did start off wretched,
Rainy as can be, Today would be quite awful, This I soon could see. Unexpectedly there came down A drop of golden honey. In a cascade of radiant drops The day became quite sunny. As soon as I went out, however, The sun hid by a cloud. I was, indeed, disappointed, At this cursed, thick, gray shroud. Dejected, I went back in To mourn the passing sol. But then, the sun shone bright again, The solid rays quite whole. Surprised I went back out To greet the warming sprite. But again he played a trick on me; And it was almost dark as night. The clouds were really angry, They poured their anger on my head. A deluge flowed down from the sky. It soaked me through, and I said, (After I went inside, of course) "Why does Nature hate me so? The sun will, no doubt, come again, But rain will follow me, I know." Sure enough, the sun peeked through, But I summoned all my will, I stayed inside, despite the sun, Of rain, and clouds I've had my fill. In stepped Mom with a great big smile, Then saw me on the floor. She shook her head in pity As she walked out the front door. I know the thought she was thinking, There can only be this one, 'Why is he still in When there's such a nice bright sun?' © 2010 Jonathan Matthews |
