Day 16 of the November 2009 PAD Chapbook Challenge
November 17th, 2009 at 11:09 am (Poetry)
The theme for Day 16 of the Writer’s Digest Poetic Asides November 2009 PAD Chapbook Challenge is “Clouds (blank)” where we fill in the blank for the title and write our poem. Well, here’s mine:
Clouds the Mind
Nebulous, dark storm clouds of thought
That in another space and time
Would have incited riotous rebellion
Now cloud the mind with fear, anxiety, self-doubt
Driving self-destructive pursuits
Wine, rum, sweets, and … ah yes… sweets
Light finally breaking through
Confusion giving way to meditation, prayer, peace
M.B. – November 2009
