I awoke in the morning
slid out of bed
and went through
my usual routine of
staring through my
office window
watching the deer
and other wild life
as I devoured a
*** of coffee
the sun was out
afternoon rolled around
and so did the clouds:
big
dark
grey
******** of clouds
I was sitting at my
desk in my office
jotting down thoughts
to begin work on my
next set of poems
I can burn many
hours brainstorming
and writing
and I did
evening fell
and finally so
did the rain:
heavy
chunky
drops
of rain
pounding the roof
and the windows
there was thunder
and lightning
and my desk lamp
flickered a time or two
then
a bright flash
of lightning
and a loud
crack of thunder
and the
power went out
in the house
I hadn’t done much
of anything
so while waiting
for the power to
come back
I thought
that I should
get off my ***
and do something
and I did
just long enough
to find a flashlight
and uncork a
bottle of wine
and then
I went back
to writing
