Some days the sun loses it's glow
when you're riding the whiskey sky
listening to the songs of the crows
the summer flowers wilt and die
when you're riding the whiskey sky
dark clouds hover threatening rain
the summer flowers wilt and die
here I am, thinking of you again
someone told me long ago
it's hard to let love go
it'll leave you feelin' blue
dark clouds hover threatening rain
sunlight pushes through the gaps
here I am, thinking of you again
no need to check a weather map
sunlight pushes through the gaps
this storm will pass it always does
no need to check a weather map
memories of you cause a flood
someone told me long ago
it's hard to let love go
it'll leave you feelin' blue
this storm will pass it always does
listening to the songs of the crows
listening to the songs of the crows
memories of you cause a flood
some days the sun loses it glow
some days the sun loses it glow

author's note: I was inspired by the Song "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?
by Creedence Clearwater Revival

I went to a free concert in the park tonight and they played this song and I sang along
Truedessa, this feels like a triolet form or very close to it. I love what you did with CCR's song to riff off of. So awesome that you heard the song live at the concert tonight. I love it when things fall together like this.
ReplyDeleteLisa - thanks for hosting. I too love it when things become connected.
DeleteNothing can be more true than your closing line...
ReplyDeleteRon, thanks so much I think many of us have felt the storms.
DeleteBut those dark clouds and rain will save those wilting flowers.
ReplyDeleteAlex, good point a little rain and the flowers sometimes bounce back.
DeleteI love the idea of a "whiskey sky". So original. It is hard to let love go - even after it is gone. The concert in the park must have been awesome.
ReplyDeleteSherry, me too the sky does have a whiskey hue some days and some days I could use a shot of that whiskey.
DeleteThis one reads like the lyrics to a great ballad! Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dwight appreciate your kind comment.
DeleteLove the way you have written this as lyrics to a song, the refrain ties it all together
ReplyDeleteBjorn, thanks I can hear the music in my head.
DeleteAnd speaking of Creedence, what you wrote would make a great song.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra

Great words True! Wanting the stormy weather to counter the current blistering Summer is a logical line of thought!

Ha - the weather this summer has been strange. Striving for balance.
DeleteI like the repetition in this, and the melancholy feeling. Beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to go to a free concert in the park! I haven't done that in a long time.
Merril, Thanks free concerts in the park are fun.
DeleteThis could be a ballad.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ken, maybe it could be a ballad.
DeleteSuch a lovely poem - and a free concert in the park sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you and yes the concert was wonderful.
DeleteMost storms will pass. It's a fact. Some won't, though, and then what do you do, right? Anyway, I hope you're doing fine. Time's passing by way too quickly.

Sadly, some storms remain even when the sun shines. Time does indeed pass way too quickly. Hope I don't land in quicksand though. Thanks for stopping over. ;)
DeleteYou picked a great song for inspiration. Wonderful formatting in this poem.
ReplyDeleteThat is what I always say to myself after way too many unfortunate events and unhappiness in my country = this too shall pass. In other news, wish real storm would come our way as we have not had rain in two months and it has been over 40C all the time.
