Lyra, having a drought there? It's been raining for a week here and is supposed to rain for another week. I walked over to the dock and discovered that my bilge pump wasn't working and my boat was only two inches from being sunk.  I loved your sonnet. Absolutely lovely, dear lady.

Thanks so much, Chris... I love the rain for some reason, and I've noticed that a lot of other poets do too... but most of the normal people in this world like the bright sunny days.... It must be a poet thing...  ~ hugs from a rainy day chipmunkLyra |

Thanks so much, Nancy... I wrote this last week, when it was pouring buckets here... now its back to being dry again... and so is my poor muse... She seems to be more creative in the wet weather... ~hugs from a soaked chipmunkLyra |

Thanks so much, Michael... It has been either extremely dry or it pours buckets here... but at least we are getting some rain...which is better than getting none at all... Now, a question for you... You called this a sonnet, but I think the rhyme scheme is wrong for a sonnet although it has the correct amount of lines... Am I wrong?... Please tell me ~ curious chipmunk hugsLyra |

Thanks so much, Electra... Yes the Saturday night midnight oil it is... I had my bone scan yesterday and the results were rather inconclusive so I think they are going to send me for an MRI... and I really want to go to the poet meet in Florida on the last weekend in Sept. And I want to be able to walk... so they have to fix my leg and at the rate they are going, I will have to go there leaning on David which is the only way I can now walk... ~ hugs from your neighbor, the chipmunkLyra |

I remember how Michigan smells in Cloudrise... as I recall, it is a very special scent, one that draws the muse to ponder, then bend over her paper to write... |

Madame - cloudrise in the sky here also. Right now it's raining, soft and gentle though, with the clouds kissing the mountain tops. The river flows slowly this morning, and one can look down the misty valley. Beautiful poem little chipmunk, inspiring... BC |

Lyra I feel the same way about a storm...does something to a core place that sometimes needs rearranging. It has been a very long time since we had one..but this morning I was awoken by thunder. You poem is full of passion..wonderfully done!!! Storm hugs to you! |

Morning MunkSter! Looking for a Munk-Report on your health. *s* It does seem unusual to look for rain, but i find myself drawn to t-storm's allure as well. This is one of your better poems, as lines read seem as though they were meant for each other, and i was transfixed by the flow. jeff ~heading out the door hugs~ |

Lyra~ I love the rain the gentle sun ... but seeing this ... 'most of the normal people in this world like the bright sunny days' I came undone ... !  There are no NORMAL people ... and there really is a poet in all of us~ Some of them just haven't rained yet~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Thanks so much, Martie... It is raining again here today... but only drizzling right now... and I am again feeling my muse coming out of hiding. I have found it so interesting that the only people I know who love rainy and cloudy days are artists and poets... I think you are right... it stirs the soul. ~ hugs in the rainLyra |

Thanks so much, Dulcie... You're right about the after effects also... but I think I could live with the rain forever. Maybe I should move to Seattle where it always rains... We just haven't seen enough of it in Michigan this year. ~ lots of rainy and cloudy hugsLyra |

Thanks so much, Jeff... for that absolutely awesome compliment... I guess that writing about a storm, DURING the storm really helps... As for health report... there is nothing concrete yet... Hopefully I will know better later this week, but I will post a preliminary report in announcements and links. ~ hugs from a soaking wet MunksterLyra |
