The first one is free...

I am going to link to a poem. Before I do this, please understand that I get feeds from a lot of sites that include poetry. I estimate that I do not even follow more than one link in ten. I love poetry, but it's...intense and sometimes I'm just skimming. This one is good.

The first line:

The sky leaves every possibility wide open,

a good stanza for a cloudy day like today[1]:

Darkness is what mainly marks
these muckraking winter Saturdays
that never quite get off the ground,
becoming bogged down in cloud.
And, at the time of morning when you'd
rather have a lawnmower up and running
or a paint can open like a puree,
torpor permeates your pores,
blackens your soul like the coal lumps
you work up to a heated exchange.
Best to abandon the fight, give up the ghost.
Best to let the darkness have its day.

Go, try some. The first one is free! Of course, I say this with my credit card still propped up on my keyboard ;>.

Off topic, but have to post this here because I reached the limit of my messages :)

Hello there :)

I sent you an invitation to join nppe (No Pressure Prompt Exchange) because you list writing as one of your interests. It would be great if you could go to "Manage My Invites" under "Communities" in your LJ menu and accept or reject the invite (I won't take it personally if you reject!!!).

Thanks so much & have a sunny Sunday!
