Rain splashes off the screen door. It's raining in my heart chubby little drops splashing on my soul. The sadness is deeper than a lagoon, bluer too.
There are days it doesn't pay to get out of bed. Maybe, in the next dream I'll find my prodigal cat. We could listen to Sketches of Spain, Miles Davis knows how to bring the lost home.

This poem is incredibly expressive. The image of rain splashing off the screen door and onto the soul is quite vivid and beautiful, the comparison of sadness to a deep, blue lagoon is really striking and works well to describe the complexity and depth of emotions.
Thomas, I don’t think you are capable of writing a poem I don’t like. And I love cats, always until recently lived with one or more. Hope you find yours if this poem is true life. Did you give a nod to Bowfinger, a favorite film of mine, with the chubby rain drops in your heart?

Thank you, I vaguely remember the movie. Eddie Murphy? I appreciate you.
'Sketches of Spain' is brilliant Thomas, a jazz 'Masterpiece'. Sorry you seem to be feeling 'blue'. 'The darkest hour is just before the Dawn'. Really Excellent ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
