Wet Blanket Weather

Sensation of dank weather

I feel a wet blanket over the sky

Heavy, sagging morose.

I hear his sloppy dampened sigh

As he dampens all our clothes.

I feel a wet blanket over the sky

Blustery, blowing his nose.

I cringe as his sneeze causes the breeze

And flustered, I run to my home.

Author's Note

The last line didn't follow the same rhyme pattern. Should I change that?

Hmm, this is a good poem but I find myself strugging with it. It's a short poem so the lack of rhyme at the end doesn't bother me. I don't think morose and clothes are perfect or near rhymes anyway which is fine.

I like the personification involved but I find the blanket idea out of place. A wet blanket to me is ikky. :) The title makes me think of a wet blanket being laid over me. Yuk! :) It's also difficult to think of a wet blanket in terms of personification. Maybe if it was being squeezed it might work for me.

It feels like a wet blanket
being squeezed over the sky
Heavy, sagging and morose.
And I hear a sloppy dampened sigh
As it dampens all our clothes.

This revision could wind up being a problem though when it comes to blowing its nose. haha
But anyway, you get the picture.

I love poems like these, where there is such a great rhythm. When I read this, I mentally drew sweet little illustrations to go along with it.
I'm usually not a poetry enthusiast... But if you can get me to draw and paint in my head, you're pretty cool in my book (:
