I’ve been staring out of the window all morning. Intermittent patters of rain hit
the glass at various angles and drizzle down the pane. The sky is undecided as
to its mood, swapping patches of murky grey for off whites and pale blues. The
cat sits on the windowsill, ears pricked for each violent splatter of rain. It falls quiet. The living room becomes flooded with a warm sort of light. The cat
yawns as the sun pats her back. The last
few stagnant raindrops are caught quite by surprise. They heave a sigh and roll
quickly away, glittering furiously.
This is a perfectly written 100 words blog post. I love your style - you tell us a lot with beautiful short sentences.
ReplyDeleteI am happy to hear that you feel better!
ReplyDeleteYour post and image reminds me of this poem:
It rains in my heart
As it rains on the town:
What is this languorous ache
That wounds my heart?
Gentle, the sound of rain
Battering roof and ground.
How sweet the sound of rain
For the heart in pain!
- Paul Verlaine
I didn't mean to sound so moody :)
Even when you're in such a mood, I hope you can enjoy little moments, like a cup or tea, or warm light on a cat's face.
reminds me of something langston hughes once wrote....Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby...
