Not My Problem

Posted byauthorstewPosted inpoetryTags:, , , 
Bright sunny day
Warmed by sunrays on my face
Dark clouds on the horizon
Not my problem
Lay face to the sun
Nothing needs to be done
Just me and my thoughts alone
Thunder in the distance
Not my problem
A puffy little cloud
Waves hello from above
Blocks the sun to give shade
I say hello
Bright sky of blue
Just a cloud or two
Not my problem 
I'm sitting inside
Rain falls in sheets
I'm sipping my drink
Everything outside is wet
Not my problem

This is for a dVerse prompt: Your challenge for today, if you choose to accept it, is to choose have your way with the weather. … Any form or length is fine. Hope you enjoy. 😊

  2. Stew, reading through this, the theme song for Sesame Street came to mind:

    “Sunny day, chasing the clouds away, on my way to where the air is sweet. Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street.”

    I think letting go of worry can be so liberating when it seems to press in on us from every direction.

    Thank you for your evocative poem. Would like to hear where you are coming from with the poem, if you care to share.

    1. Thanks Li. Originally it was you can’t do anything about the weather but as I wrote more it was keeping your head in the sand about the weather and then looking outside at the weather. I liked the openness of the interpretation that the poem had as you could look at it at a number of different ways and that appealed to me.

      Thanks so much for reading. ☺
