Minor Disturbance

Posted on

 

 

You speak in cloudbursts

Torrential tongue

Twisting words to suit your weather

I have news for you

The forecast isn’t bleak

The sky isn’t falling though you

May be chicken and I, little

Your drizzle will fizzle

And I can play in the rain

 

 

For Kim’s quadrille prompt over at dVerse Poets Pub.

44 words of fun using the word “rain”.

  17. This feels like a perfect human portrayal..I love these lines: ‘Torrential tongue,
    Twisting words to suit your weather’ and the ending section where the speaker insists on not believing in calamity and plays in the rain.

  18. This is FANTASTIC:
    “Torrential tongue”

    And “your drizzle will fizzle.”

  19. Haha, yes. So much drama sometimes! You clearly are ‘playing in the rain’ with this one.

  20. This one is fun. Am wondering if the forecast is metaphorical. Either way, we can always dabble in a drizzle.

  21. Love this forecast! I used a smattering of rain analogy in my offering as well. “You speak in cloudbursts, Torrential tongue, Twisting words to suit your weather”- Yes! Brilliant. Haha, we littles sometimes just have to wait for the “drizzle to fizzle.”😊
