Changing Tomorrow’s Perspective

I donned gray slacks
and a black top today, with
black shoes, and looked simple
in the sunlight, which was promised;
a pleasant character, I had hoped, as the trees
fluttered with winds from
the south

and then headed with expectancy
into my day.

I am always expectant,
I never know what might be around
that corner, so I have a smile
in the ready
and a wariness that most don’t see
behind my eye

just in case.

But the day one-eighty’ed me,
cool temps got cooler,
and gray ripples fish-boned across the skies
by noon, those south winds were
pushing in moisture, even though
radar showed clear skies…

sometimes we have to rely
on what we see.

I could feel the tense of knowing
fall will be short
just as summer was overly hot
and winter, perhaps, may almost become
unbearably long;
my day became gray, like my clothes,
and night began to edge the black in
early.

Tomorrow’s forecast? More of tonight.
Tomorrow’s perspective?

I’ll wear red.

Haha! You just can't count on the would-be meteorologists on the tube, Sunshine. And you will shine in red. By the way, this is JerryPat, I have major problems with the JerryPat identity.

A black cat ran in front of me tonight. I'm not worried. They don't bother Warlocks.

Very cool tones, you really know how to dress up shades of gray.

Such beautiful weather any way you write it.

This is a wonderful poem with multi-layered thoughts, but all written with the same goal in mind, the wearing of that darn red dress. Send pictures.

I love the picture you paint here (along with its ensuing message) ...so, what happens when you wear plaid?
