“They’re calling for some rain.”
“We’ve had our share this month.”
“Yes. But we need it, after the summer we had.”
“We barely got any rain at all.”
and we both
looked to the sky
for its promised answers
for signs of an arrival
I’ve never wanted to
talk about the weather
never wished be so trivial
tho when we do
and when we are
we don’t have to
think upon things
such as whether
love is ever
enough
for any
of us
Great Post
Thank you. I appreciate you reading this.
welcome, my pleasure.
A lovely read. It gets so deep as it ends. The simplicity of a few words, oh my.
Here’s hoping you’ll check out my blog too sometime soon. 🙂
I just read a few pieces and followed. I like your writing voice. Thank you for the visit and the kind words. 🙂
Thank you so much Eric. I’m glad you liked it.
Mundane chatter is polite conversation.. And better that than the rude or awkward conversation that could ensue from deeper revelations.
Yes. I’d be punched out daily if told everyone what I was really thinking about 🙂 Poetry is allowed to say those things tho, or to poke at them a bit with a stick. Happy Sunday, Steph 🙂
Love how this slides from register to register, discourse to discourse. Thank you for posting this.
And thank you for your kind comments, Mils. I always appreciate you reading.

And today’s theme is “the unspoken”… First I read a post about secrets, and now this.
The truth of our hearts is often revealed during “trivial” conversations like this if we listen closely to what is NOT being said…
Good morning, Eric. I hope you have a glorious day! 🙂
Good morning, Lisa 🙂 I think that’s often true. It’s a question of context. This was really more wordplay than anything else, written hastily at 80 MPH in my head, tho the thought existed and thus.. a poem 🙂
Besttt
splendid.
i do find myself turning to the weather channel when I just can’t take the politicians and political pundits pontificating. nothing like being distracted by a distraction to keep me from distractions. mostly though i just keep the television set turned off..
Thank you, and thanks for reading this one. I tend to keep the silly thing turned off as well. My son disagrees. Noisy kid 😉
