A seond Poem for 2020
My Valley
My valley is green when the sky is blue
The sun shines most every day, chlorophyll
Chlorophyll does its work best in sun's warmth
When the sky is cast over with dark clouds
And the much needed rain comes down in sheets
Then in darkness of the night roots soak up
After which my valley is greener still
So when troubles befall like the rain falls
They make you grow strong like your valley green

- Sanaa has asked us to write using at least three of the following word group.
- I used darkness, cast, warmth, and sky.
amaryllis somewhat percussion darkness grapefruit
deep cast warmth blood touch
gravel twilight lips sky sleep
bedside scones fervour harbinger cogitation

You live in a beautiful valley and yes rain means green. I love 'So when troubles befall like the rain falls
They make you grow strong like your valley green'
Oh, I so needed this hopeful piece. Thank you
Lovely images, and a nice piece of philosophy too.
Wise words, Jim:
'...when troubles befall like the rain falls
They make you grow strong like your valley green'.
Living in the English countryside in the 1940s to 1960s I still have that yearning for those places of my memory, which are often spoilt by a visit!
The message in your poem comes thru loud and clear! Love it.
We need them both--light and darkness--so we can grow as we ought.
green is forever
Beautiful poem with wise meaning, Jim. Love this!
