Pending

Storms approach from the west
promising colder days to come.
Today, I head south to demand
payment for work two months past,
a light rain starting to fall.

I hope for you that all the conditions in this poem are temporary--
Wish you success in your quest...

Hope it's a good trip.

Neoma said...

colder days indeed, it sure puts a damper on a good mood when someone owes you money and won't pay. grrrrrr

J. Andrew Lockhart said...

nothing like having people pay you - good luck, if that's really going on.
The cold is here! We went from the 60's to the 20's in one day. :(

Evocative Pat! It really sets a mood.

Hope the clouds recede soon. They receded here. It was raining like mad here.

Good Luck and here is to finding the pot of gold under the rainbow!

J. Andrew Lockhart said...

o.k., it's been enough -- did you get the money?

Pat, Just read "Garden in a Weed" Really love it and much food for thought in those few short lines. Also, I hope you collected what was owed to you. You found a beautiful way to express something quite grounded and necessary in the real world of the everyday.

Hi Pat
Just stopping by to say "Hi"
I have been missing your poetry.
Thanks for your visits and kind words while I was away from blogging....I appreciate it.
I hope to be back to posting on Sunday.
I enjoyed this poem as I do all of your poems.
Take care and have a great weekend!
