Provincetown Pall – ’tis but a moment

Mist and fog ~
marauders of the night,
muffle morning’s sun.
Drip moisture on decks,
lush grass, drooping hammocks
and once tall hollyhocks.
Grey ocean meets putty sky,
nature’s pall like widow’s veil.
But my view today?
My spirits shall not be dampened
nor my view dimmed
of this wonderful place
called Provincetown.
I know the sun is there,
simply biding her time to appear.

It is indeed a foggy morning in Provincetown today. I shall simply wipe down the table and chairs on our deck and sit outside to savor the myriad shades of grey presenting themselves between ocean and low hanging sky, all the while listening to the ebb and flow of waves lapping on to shore.

Sudoku Days

Mind wanders unable to cogitate.
Winds play havoc with light weight detritus.
Headlines condense happenings,
news by topic only. Sometimes old.
Eyes skim paper while draining coffee cup.
Aprosexia. Sound enticing?
Not.
Day dawns choppy and jumbled.
My sorting hat’s lost.


NAPOWRIMO (National Poetry Writing Month) Day 2. The challenge is to write a poem every day in the month of April.

Today’s optional prompt: write a poem based on a word featured in a tweet from Haggard Hawks, an account devoted to obscure and interesting English words. I chose the word “aprosexia” which means an inability to concentrate.
