Outside My Window Xix Poem by Frank Avon

Outside My Window Xix



It's rainy.
It's Týrsday.
And all I see

are bare trees
a gray sky
brown leaves
blown into heaps

one last rose
incongruous

and up close
at my back
the burning bush

and all I hear
is when it speaks

TO BE

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Týrsday, of course, is Tuesday. Týr was once chief/father of the gods, the bringer of law. His name is cognate with the Indo-European 'deus.'
COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Thanks for the notes, Frank. It has been a long, cold rainy day here too. Some petunias and marigolds still decorate but by Friday night it will be in the teens. I look forward to your descriptions of your window views. You are a brilliant writer and observer. Thanks
