Hi Robert,
Thanks. Someday, I hope to make a little recording of it. It doesn't have
much of an arrangement at the moment, just the words and melody. Everything
I play seems feeble or unnecessary, which generally means, I'm not opening
my mind up enough for a musical arrangement to get in.
Donna

I enjoyed the poem/song. I really can't think of anything to change now.

Hi Barbara,
Since several people have weighed in by now, I'll comment. First, poetry is
so personal for the reader, that whatever you get out of it is -- by the
nature of art itself -- true. I would say that it is about dealing with
sustained struggle, frustration and humiliation. In terms of tomorrow being
a better day, I would say that isn't quite how I see it. It's more that the
subject will, despite the weariness, be trying again.

Is it about being hurt by someone--or something--and tomorrow will be a
better day?

Hmm, not sure what doesn't make sense. I could tell you what it means to me,
but I'd rather wait to see if others are having a similar response.

I like it but I'm confused. What does it mean?

Hi Friends,
I probably should have waited till November to pull this one out, but since
we've been discussing Haiku and who knows where any of us will be in
November, I thought I'd share it now. There are three verses of 2 Haiku
each. Each verse is followed by a bridge which is one Haiku and a 5 syllable
refrain. You'll notice that I have employed a rhyme structure that ties the
verse Haiku to each other and the bridges to each other, though the
individual Haiku don't rhyme internally.
I don't consider it perfect or done, so if you have any thoughts, please
share.
Donna
Under These Gray Skies
By Donna W. Hill
1
Under these gray skies
I bow down to November
Holding out my wings
Even though I try
I can't seem to remember
Why the caged bird sings
O, Lord, forgive me
I was once your beloved
Don't you still know me?
Under these gray skies.
2
Under these gray skies
I've been waiting forever
For the seas to part
Promises and lies
Thwarting every endeavor
Of this weary heart
Stung by the salt spray,
I pour over my failures
Who could pardon me?
Under these gray skies.
3
Under these gray skies
Nighttime closes around me
As the winds subside
Feeble alibis
Serving just to confound me
and my starless guide
Morning will find me
Reaching to the horizon
Where the wild birds fly
Under these gray skies
