Starting Over
,
A bleak morning.
Ground fog, again.
It never used to rain so much.
And then,
slowly,
the mist bows to a casual cumulous,
and evening cadences fall from a cloud-mouth of stars.
The future catches in my throat,
musky and delicious.
Its name is Start Over and
it sits between us
like the last piece of candy in the box.

Musky and delicious…that it is. Let’s hear it for the last piece of candy in the box.

Love that last simile.
Thought immediately of this song too when I saw the prompt
Love your poem.
This John Lennon song is my favorite “it’s midnight, New Year’s Eve” song. Unfortunately, I had to remove most other John Lennon songs from my library because I couldn’t learn to like them, but this one remains…let’s take a chance and fly away….somewhere…Dig it!
Simply lovely imagery. Thanks for sharing this/
Jack listened to this and said it reminded him of a character in the book he’s listening to. The character’s an alcoholic and he says every morning, though, is like the first inning. Poignant stuff this. Toni. The poem. The poem. Lennon would have done something with it no doubt.

What’s the book? I’m into The Lighthouse Road by Peter Geye.
I especially liked the cloud-mouth of stars…
And the opportunities in the last piece of candy in a box.
Very nice.
i love your poem. I am not drawn to poems that are to long or to dense. I am a fan of just this type of poetry. Beautifullly written with enough to tell the whole story without burying the reader. Very simple and yet powerful.
Beautiful, I wish I could look beyond that fog and move on myself…
This is beautiful! Thank you!
wow, thanks.
Congrats on being freshly pressed!

“the mist bows to a casual cumulous”
Nothing sounds more beautiful than the personification of nature.
Beautiful.. Thanks!
Very nice! Congrats!
This is stunning in a way I can’t put my finger on
which is just great. Reminds me of the experience of epiphanies.
Love & Peace, from one more woman who writes,

Loved it.

Love the last line and the lyrical genius of Lennon probably would have too!
