A Dreay Day Poem by Billy Loving

Gloom and despair
As out the windows I stare
Dark and damp
Warming glow of the lamp
Rain all around
Drops beat the ground
Nothing moving outside
All awaiting the rain to subside
No sound of the dog
Down the river comes the fog
The missing of the sun
No mowing to be done
Lack of shining light
To make me feel alright
Nowhere to ride
Trapped inside
Nothing to lighten the mood
While I sit and brood
No feeling of content
Wondering where the feeling went
Day goes by so slow
Sleepy, to the bedroom I go
