A vague day

The blazing sun warms your soul

its colorful veil covers

the remains of a vague day

you feel the sorrow flow away

One liner poetry prompt October 25th, 2017

It was Tamyka Bell who some time ago wrote she had a vague day. ‘Great prompt’ I thought, and Kathy Jacobs agreed. So here it is. A little bit of a self referring theme. Typical for a vague day is that life, or at least our brain, has come to a stand still. I want to write but nothing happens. I have a vague day. In this photo somebody else has a vague day. She has retired from the world on this special spot on earth and is ‘engaged in (the) rapt contemplation’ to quote Elliott. Not of her name, I can tell you.

Your turn…
