Simple pleasures for friend Tate

sonnet variant

Simple pleasures

 

The morning sky gun metal gray

No sign of brightness in the sky.

It seem the rain is here to stay

I pray that it will go away.

Then suddenly to my surprise

The sun breaks through. I realise.

I have been worried needlessly

 and today is going to be

Perfect for visiting the Zoo

To see the latest baby bears

That’s what my children want to do.

The  sun has banished all my cares.

We climb aboard the camper van

Today I am a happy man.

This poem's so charming and as always by you, finely created. There's a distinct picture of a very happy man here, whoever and wherever he is. Amazing, isn't it, how a sudden thought can make even the greyest day seem a perfect one!
