The Pen.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

The Pen....

Rating: 5.0


the weather is very happy today,
I'm just not sunny enough
to be able to
enjoy,
oh boy!

the sun laughed very early,
he skips the smilings, immediately laughed,
I couldn't appreciate that

after all that water clattering in the middle of the night,
it sounded exactly like the waterfalls in the Mae Sot area,
I'm crazy about that,
those lovely waterfalls over there
I haven't returned yet
to that place,
only friendly people I've met
and I don't even know them yet,

were they supposed to know that I'm so shy!

The weather is very happy today,
I am not at the moment
I have already spoiled myself again with
scribbling something again
with my so oft used pen,

yes, you can talk like"brugman"
(dutch idiom for being talkative)
but I am who I am....

Love?

May I also be frank....?
I am who I am,
I love so very much my pen….

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
some time scarcely,
there are those moments
especially after being away to your first
grandbabyson, just two years old
and he lives in such beautiful green
surroundings in Mae Sot, only for six months
but I have been there
and just returned

last night it was raining hardest
the rainfall sounded like the waterfalls
around my (grand) son's house in Mae Sot

Mae means in the Thai language "water"
Many beautiful waterfalls in their neighbourhood
I can't help it that I associate tha hard rains last night with those waterfalls

thank you for reading
many thanks for your precious comments

This is great to hear that heavy weather has motivated you and you have perceived this as sunny enough to enjoy life. Your thought with great beauty has motivated your pen to pen nice poem on paper. Laughing of sun at early stage has made you laugh in amazing way. You are crazy about waterfalls. You have expressed your greatest love towards your pen as a tribute and penned this excellent poem....10

Another lovely poem, Sylvia. So refreshing like rain falling on our rooftops creating a lovely song. Yes, hard rain rhythm is like that of a waterfall. A heartwarming write beautifully crafted and well conveyed.
