Rainy Tuesdays Rainy Tuesday morning slumber Overcomes the spirit’s will Warmth of blanket keeps me under Spells of tapping on my sill Puttering raindrops softly rapping Lazy rhythms on the pane Sooth my ears while I am napping To the music of the rain Getting up is such a struggle When I hear that lullaby Plinking plunk just makes me snuggle Deeper into warm and dry Would that I could stay forever In this cozy dreamy bliss Cradled in the down of feather Taking in a moment’s wisp Time won’t stop to wait or ponder Slothful yawns of sleepy head Still I lay in warmth and wonder When to topple out of bed In dreamy snooze, my mind’s too fizzley In the sputtering morning mist Lazy moods are wrought by drizzley Tuesday mornings just like this Elizabeth Santos |

The thoughts in this and the images are truely beautiful and I am with Nan on your choice of words and I am keeping it also if you don't mind. Sounds much more pleasing of a word to me. |

Thanks, everyone. Yes, my mind is fizzley most of the time, and I make no apologies. I was born with a fizzley mind and will always have a fizzley mind. Excuse me if I keep repeating myself, I just happen to like the word, kind of like "plinking plunk" THanks for the comments Liz |

Liz, I know that a hundred years from now college students are gonna be studying your form and mastery of skill....You my dear are one of the talented few that I have had the chance to read that could touch my heart with every poem I have had the pleasure to read of yours....May your years be long and your words never stop flowing for yours is truly a gift.

it's raining right now and it's 2am (almost) on a tuesday morn. isn't it ironic... what a glorious tribute to staying in bed and watching/listening to the rain. i love this. *great work!* Everyone's got their demons. We all got somethin' to atone for. |

Jeff, Your response was overwhelming. THank you so much Kevin, Even "fizzley"? Ethan, Believe it or not today was a drizzly Tuesday morning, but I had an appointment that I couln't miss. Too bad Tracee, I'm lucky, I can stay in bed as long as I like, but I get up early anyway, THanks for the comments Liz |

Yanno...Its a rainy Tuesday here too. Today I was going into a store, and I never carry an umbrella. A man got our of his truck, opened his umbrella, and asked me did I need one. I told him no thanks, that I love the rain. It made him smile. I took my time and walked slowly in it. Kinda inspiring...This poem and today's event. Thanks! Wonderfully excellent writing as usual, Elizabeth. You make me feel everything you write. |
