When imagination hungers many a tale evolves,

expanding on some personal journey, if not lost

in the twinkling of an eye.

 

Occasionally ideas are rickety and fall before

they're even sown, fingers taking hold of pen

poised...lingering at the ready,

 

mind itching for perfection when pools of light

come into sight, a dream maybe takes hold as

scrambled thoughts try to work visions out.

 

Focus on my centre leave chaos behind,

forget about problems that abound leaving

me stubborn with doubt.

 

Maybe it's too much forcing impressions to show.

Yet! Much anticipated clouds verge horizon of rooftops,

silence broken by much needed rain making its impact known,

 

leaving rich petrichor redolence of grass and earth combined to

mingle with senses. I can hardly contain my joy after weeks of

mind numbing heat, as again words come in torrents on blank sheet.

What a wonderful surprise. Thank you so much insert. 

I was just wondering what happened to the other comments people were kind enough to make, not only on this piece but on a lot of my other work too?

makes me think of all your thoughts sprouting up into lines of poetry when the rain came! I had not known there was a word for the lovely feeling of rain afer drought, you have made petrichor into a poetry core

Many thanks for reading Di. I enjoy discovering new words and this one seemed to pop out at me and just needed to be used.

Glad you liked and appreciate your thoughts.

By the way, hope you and yours are well.

Jenny.

yes thankyou. It was lovely coming back to the site after a bit and finding your poem on the frontpage, what a welcome for new visitors, too! I hope you are well and not living in one of those very hot places? We are lucky to have had lots of rain but even by the sea it's a bit humid so everyone is tired

We've had extremely hot weather Di. I only wish for some cold weather which I know is not everyones cup of tea, but it is mine.

Many thanks for stopping by.

Jenny.

Hi ray,

it was such a nice surprise to get poem of the week for this piece and I'm very happy you've got the message I was trying to convey.

Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts.

By the way, sorry I've not been keeping up with your story, only I've been engrossed in Richard's true story which is so fascinating. It comes to an end tomorrow, so I'll be back to yours very soon.

Jenny.
