AN EMOTIONAL TORRENT


It's drizzling today. I love when it rains.

Rain turns the brown grass green, 

clears the air of pollutants, 

and feeds thirsty roots.

It's inclement again. I hate rain.

Rain shields the sun, limits fun, 

and when the clouds go dark, 

my mind follows.

It's pouring today. I love the rain.

Rain washes away blood,

 leaves my soul shiny and new, 

and promises forgiveness.

It's still damp. I hate rain.

Rain creates a gloomy day,

the mind wanders, 

and memories of murder 

haunt with desires for more.

It's storming now. 

I love a tempest,

 especially when

 I've murder in mind.

Wow, Girl. And 100 words. I know I say this a lot, but you are killer at these.

Happy Weekend.

Thanks, Ivy.
I enjoy writing them that's for sure, and honestly, I just go where the picture takes me.

The perfect storm for murder.

Wow! Loved the way you've penned the emotions.

Love and hate, so close in emotion and murder on their mind - great writing.

Yolanda Renée said...

Hi Pat, it certainly was!

Yolanda Renée said...

Hi Denise, Thanks, rain seems to affect the emotions more negatively than the sun.

Yolanda Renée said...

Thanks Kiran! Outside influences are so important!

Yolanda Renée said...

Hi Sally, they are for sure, thanks!

The manic mind, back and forth. Excellent!

Hahaha, excellent Yolanda. I was swept away by your FF. I couldn't stop reading. I loved the thoughts. Flip-flopping along.There are many ways to interpret this, my friend. That is fabulous FF. When the author writes it like you do.

This one made me smile. It's full of creeepy! I'm wondering if there are two culprits, or one has MPD, or if it's just a cat hunting birds! lol
