Recently I was suffering from winter depression here in Portland Oregon…other wise known as S.A.D



As soon as the clouds and lack of sunlight show up it pulls me right down creativy exits stage left even :0)

Well “Jami I Pereria” wrote me this very encouraging email ( Below) and in response some time later I wrote this poem..I,m new to poetry but not writing and I,m truly enjoying this new fellowship of the Ring of poetic Hubbers…

My wife and true soulmate Cynthia ;0))))))) “Cyncags” is also a poet and is on here and is a great poet. So now I know what she means!!! never really was into reading let alone writing peotry... This is really helping with my fiction writing….thank you one and all!!!!

Aww , im sorry to hear that you have been sad , but i want to ask you this one question ...and i want an honest answer ..lol ok? here goes...Can you not see how lovely the clouds are today? that God gave the forest a chance to replenish itself with fog and rain / see how happy the plnts and animals are? they are being nourished from the tears of joy God sends their way ? you have to look at the dreary weather as Gods way of nourishing his creations , the world ,plants and animals , so when you think of God watering his garden , rejoice and be happy ,and find beauty in what he has created , The dreary weather is God watering his garden and his creatures big and small !:) see..? Happy thought!! Now , my new friend , write about it and rejoice , for God obviously wanted me to tell you to cheer up , the sun will shine again and brighten up your day!

JAMI`S Home work Mikeq107 :))

Can you see how lovely the clouds are today?

Said the father to his son below

Far below on the rain drenched earth

The son walked around with head hung low

The journey he had taken since birth given sight.

He was born in a land of patch worked green

That was drenched with the dew of heaven

And while that Emerald isle was full of surprises

His eyes could not see god’s beautiful sunrise`s

Like Eorror the donkey with his personal cloud

It was fueled by fear rejection loneliness and sadness

His earthly father’s arms he longed for at night

But drink had its way to steal even the night

His mother peacemaker, her life she not lived

His brother and sisters all clamored for dad

To catch some attention

Broken promises, empty homes new towns

Schools and church steeples full of empty noises

Moreover, left behind peoples.

Jami my bud this one`s for you

For to write a poem for a true poet

Is a hard task indeed

The words from a past long forgotten

Buried by a true fathers son on a cross

My sins and past are for given

Far down below under the cloud

Light pierces his heart and smile

Comes forth as the dawning of day

Grey comes before blue

Therefore, that green can sprout up

The wonders God made

That for a brief time man

Must live in the shade.

Nevertheless, that shade is full of wonder

And love if he will just receive it

Praise god for the cloud that waters the earth

Its fruit is the beauty that graces the scene

That brings new life were dead roots have been

His heart cries out

Why have I been blind?

You engineeered this cloud to set free my mind

The wonders you have made

The fruit of your hand

Once eaten with passion

Overflows from my spirit

To be shared with each other

To fill us with love

And each brand you morning is the cycle of your love

To praise you in the dark the night just before dawn

To run to the sunshine as the new rays are born

To wash in the soft rain that is cool to the touch

To breathe in the freshness

Of your glorious touch

Nature makes love to me a boy from the Isle

Who never realized you were there all the while

Free will you gave

Love I give back

For those clouds in the sky

That someday will carry you back

So from this day forth

Until the end as you, know it

I will embrace your grey clouds

That gives life to your earth

And your timely messenger Jami

Can see my homework is done

As her God found friend mike

Puts his bum on his bike rides into sun

Now that his great work is done))))

Great effort. I am struggling with SAD for my second year so you have my sympathy. It is at it's worst for me early in morning because I go to work before dawn. Not so bad in summer months as it is light early.Keep writing, it kinda seems to help somehow.

And you say you're not a poet? Very insightful poem with lots to think about, and note your job is NOT done! Great job. Voted up.
