You say . . .
. . . “there’s a cold front moving through.”
Clouds rush overhead
flashes of silvery light
passing from one tree to the next.
One empty blue patch
catches the sun
and throws it down onto the earth
for all to see.
I say . . .
. . . there’s a cold front moving through.
Reflections disappear
as if never there before
I can still see the leftovers
and my only remaining sky – – –
. . . there’s a cold front moving through.



lovely…

WRITING NOTES:
I was traveling on the road and saw flashes of silver light pass over the trees as I rounded the curves. Then I noticed it about three more times, looking up I saw that the cold front line was near. There was only one opening in the sky – and there the sunlight passed through…. reminded me of love lost and gained! I pulled over onto the shoulder and wrote my poem and shot the photo! I love going for a drive — never know what you can find or imagine!

Brian, I was reflecting on love and how it changes. And in one moment somehow it can be gone, lost & unrecoverable?? –like a storm approaching. One might have a sense that change is taking place but maybe not until it is too late!

I usually like to see the blue sky with a touch of optimism and warmth, but it's hard after reading your poem – you have communicated the chill well.

I can still see the leftovers…this section is really evocative…and opens it up as well to something more than just the weather…smiles.

I like your use of the word leftovers and the repetition you use. It adds to the chill. I could feel your coldfront moving through 🙂
