Platinum Skies

My mood is as flat as the platinum skies

Of this overcast March day.

But it’s merely flat, not sad.

Only momentarily uninspired.

 

I laugh at myself;

What colors did I expect, chartreuse and fuchsia?

It’s restful, meditative.

 

Already traces of green dot the brown grass

Outside my window

And tiny, fragile buds on the trees

Hint at the spring soon to come

And so I’m hopeful and expectant.

Serious inspiring words of hope has been written in a moment when there was lack of inspiration .
deep work :)

Exactly! I did feel singularly uninspired that day and talked myself up. It's truly heartwarming that you understood and liked this.

--realism at its best :)

I loved the write :)

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for taking the time to read.

[Moonie]

Gosh, I love it. It is so true. There are moments when you think there is nothing left to write about and you feel blank and all of a sudden, a new idea comes knocking on your front door. I simply LOVE IT!! You sure are a brilliant poet.

[Jennie Baron]

Oh, thanks so much! Glad you like it and appreciate your taking the time to read and review. You guessed the secret, this actually came to me very quickly.

[Moonie]

You're welcome. Btw, I meant " you feel blank" not "you geel nlank" .

[Jennie Baron]

I got the general idea :)

[Moonie]

I'm thankful you did. :))

[Jennie Baron]

Oh, also, you figured out the secret because this one did come to me quite suddenly.

[Moonie]

Happens to me many times too. Maybe that's how I figured the secret. :))

[Daydreamer]

Ma'am, that's truly capable.
I would be honored if you made some time to check my poetry and have me advice :)

[Jennie Baron]

I'd be glad to. Send me read requests and I'll be sure to get to it, but I'll try to take a look around while I'm browsing, too. Know that I consider myself a fiction writer who just dabbles in poetry, though!

[Jennie Baron]

I do appreciate your reading!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Oh I love spring time or as I call it the season of new life… and your poem is a great reflection of why I love it. Fabulous piece.

[Jennie Baron]

:) Thanks, Cowboy, although that was in early spring and it's so much nicer now... Glad you liked it.

Having browsed your work, this is my favorite. The imagry is easily captured and the sensitive treatment comes across gently to the reader. Very well done.

[Jennie Baron]

I appreciate it. Interesting that your favorite took me so little time to write!

[DrD]

That happens sometimes. I think they call it inspiration.

[Chloe_Spence]

Wonderful vocabulary and great use of imagery :)

[Samantha ~virginpoet]

Great use of words and placement filling the screen with great imagery

[Jennie Baron]

Thanks for reading and for the good comment! I appreciate it.

[Madalyn Beck]

I love the imagery of this. Not going to lie, I love the gloomy weather! But I also love summer and sunshine too. Beautiful write! (:

[Jennie Baron]

Thanks again, ma cherie.
