A Change in the Weather #Haibun #Senrya

So blue and cranky
Some cold in the summer heat
Miss your joyous face

A gloomy forecast
Skies a melancholy grey
Hope for upbeat news

There is a change in the weather of my soul.  A high pressure is replaced by a low.  The outlook is a bit pessimistic, but with your sun away, what can I say, I’m feeling down.  Can I hope for a new front that’s a bit more upbeat?  Will your merry eyes and joyous smile once more show up on my RADAR?  I hope to dance in the rain in delight, when that rainbow that’s you is back in sight.

This was written for Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Challenge.  The key words today were “Happy” and “Morose”.  Following her suggestion, I didn’t use the words, I used only synonyms.  i was super busy and missed last week.

More love poems to nobody ;)  I think the two top ones can be called Senryu, but I don’t know if there is really irony present.  Adding that paragraph does get them closer to a Haibun though.  I hope ;)

      Thanks Vashti! I think everyone is affected by the weather this summer! Both of the photos are from my cottage on Cape Cod – it is a beautiful place! I’m doing very well now, but thinking of weather, I will feel better in the fall, when it is cool and not as humid ;)

          Sometimes it seems our moods can control the weather, but… I’m sure you are right that it does go back to a time when we had to be much more in tune with the world around us, such as when we were still hunter gatherers.
