A snowflake in june



I thought I saw a snowflake in June!
Maybe, it was just silly daydream imaginations
Or were ongoing investigations really do?

Upon further horizon inquiries, the sun ended it with denial
And the heavenly interrogations, finished with the sky turning pale blue
I’m pretty sure, the clouds were among the cover up
Fortunately, a little pigeon squawked and revealed some of the simple truth
That, there was a brewing conspiracy of rumors flying around
It took a few ruffled feathers to help spill the rest of this scandalous news
It seems a wintry prima donna performer of the coming season...
In order to beat the ratings, broke out early and was somewhere on the loose
Could it be the very same stitch of ice I'd seen?
A snowflake thespian , acting out in the month of June?
Then, I saw a glistening of arrogance pass right before my eyes
And tiny banner waved, followed by the squeaky words “see you very soon”
I rubbed my eyes in disbelief and then, my tongue was quickly unleashed
As I closed the case of any further flakes, from trying to make their premature Hollywood debuts

Nighttiger

A fortyish native born all American man. Married twice and for the last time. I have four children; Three daughters and one son that are all over the age of eighteen. I also have two grandchildren; one three years old and one nine months old. Inspired by God, tragedy, life's experiences and then a fairy tale love. I never intentionally set out to write poetry, but "She" inspired me. "She" meaning the love of my life. That love is a passion that after thirteen years still grows stronger each and every day. It eventually had to be put into writing. As I wrote poetry to her, she encouraged me to approach other subjects. Doing so brought me to discover that poetry could wash away the bitter tastes of life (suicide, cancer, and divorce) that were still living like demons inside me. So when poetic therapy brought those impish fiends to a stalemate, I began to experiment more. Creating fictional characters and situations within my works. The support of this online community has inspired me even further to continue to hone my writing skills giving the readers the best that I can offer. Thanks to all you out there in Lulu land. more…
