Platinum Skies

Platinum Skies

A Poem by Jennie Baron

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.

Glad you enjoyed it. Long time no see, and I always enjoy your unique perspective on my writing. You can and do imagine meanings I hadn't intended, but that's fascinating. At least I came up with a word you weren't familiar with, although colors may be more of a feminine thing...

Interesting. I learn something new every day. Color may truly be a cultural matter.
This is so very much the feeling that I have as spring begins to slowly creep in. How odd, that although Platinum is one of the most valuable metals, it is simultaneously rather bland; I suppose that sometimes the things which seem uneventful can hold their own unique and significant value? I was not familiar with chartreuse, so thank you for helping me expand my vocabulary. Good write, I enjoyed it, and poetry is hardly my forte.

The last of the ice storm the week before Christmas melted away last week. Spring arrived.

This piece describes my feelings perfectly. I am so excited for spring to make its appearance and winter to finally go away! Thank you for sharing. :)
