Mind Clouds

Storm clouds form above
My head in late August
Dubiously I glance about

By October a steady rain
Dreary on my shoulders
Never lifting

As daylight dims in November
I gorge myself with
Leftover Halloween candy

Never feeling satisfied
By December I want to
Pull the covers over my head

Sleeping through January
My bones stiffen
With extreme cold

February dawns bleak
I could kill the silly darting
Cupid with his own arrow

The crashing of icicles
Rattles my brain and the
Darn dripping drives me insane

When I feel it will never end
March winds blow in
A crocus appears and grows

May is here
My heart thaws
Mind clouds drift away

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
