Saturday Night
a sheet of rain
one taste
of thunder
bleak as a silent bed
the future
spreads its wings
borne by dream
and cloud-spun fancy
loops at middle night
skipping spaces
to that patient past
clad in a sheet of rain

That is a lovely magpie. Well written.
Wonderful Magpie. I especially liked
"bleak as a silent bed
the future
spreads its wings"
I also love your moniker. Tumbleword, like traveling a tumbleweed going places with the wind, where no others will. Listening to dreams whispered on the breeze.
Lovely piece. particularly liked the last line - lovely connection to the prompt.
i like this, it is like a raindrop of feeling amongst a thunderstorm of emotions...thanks for reading my piece too!
Unique interpretation... a pleasant surprise.
Makes me want to sleep in the rain. Pity I'm in a desert! ;)
I also like the 'bleak as a silent bed' image. Terribly well crafted poem!
I love the lines 'borne by dream and cloud-spun fancy' - lovely.
When you said, "patient past," that seems so right! Thank you.
Dear TW: Simply conveyed with much drama and poignant words. "cloud-spun fancy loops at middle night" reminds me of Olde English writing. Refreshing rain! Thank-you!
Love it! Words painting a picture of summer thunderstorms...
Lovely poem
Nice take on the pic
Very good...one needs to get through a night where you can taste thunder!!!
Refreshing and cozy, too. I love 'cloud-spun fancy'. What lovely words.
Oh yeah, I'm feelin' it.
Wonderful Magpie.
wonderful words. "a sheet of rain" isn't that very abstract?
such peaceful words that I even got to read with thunder in the background..
Not so bleak, as there is some serenity in all this.
Stunningly visual. I like
cloud-spun fancy.
Worty of a few re-readings. Each line, each phrase captures something magical.
Beautiful. Loved the form and the line "loops at middle night"
ah, how I love the rain...
very pretty!
This was a fun read! I enjoyed the second to last stanza!
This is beautiful. Took my breath away.
Sue,
The future becomes less bleak in the dreames bed.
Rainy nights are for special dreams!

I don't know what else to say, besides wow! I love it, I mean it! Like the environment, the image, the fealing, the message. I could just hope I got it right. Really nice!
I love storms and rainy night. Great composition. Thanks for you visit.

Your lovely piece is full of wonderful imagery and thoughtful ideas. I really enjoyed it!
I'm with ZUZU..I loved it!!
Lovely play of words!
And the fact that you made it a Saturday, somehow adds an extra weight to it.. I really liked that bit!
A neat Magpie!
Might as well take an umbrella. Always very beautiful!!!
