[René Magritte, Golconda (1953), oil on canvas; image courtesy deVerse poetry Pub]


 Rain On A Clear Day

On a clear cool day,

Why this needless nuisance of rain,

Past rooftops, routing a straigth path

Down from free fleecing azure.


Who cares? cause the windows are shut;

Maybe every engaging human,

Has had wholly enough,

Of outside influences.


So they therefore shut in

All casual coincidences of life

Leaving legacies of strife to 

Flowers free on the meadows

  1. "Maybe every engaging human,
    Has had wholly enough,"

    That could be so true (sad though it is). 😔

  4. It’s raining here this morning, Gillena, and I too am thinking ‘Why this needless nuisance of rain?’ I like the idea of ‘leaving legacies of strife to flowers free on the meadows’.

  7. I think shutting out the needless nuisance of sameness is a great idea.
