Kim at dVerse Poets hosts “rain” quadrille (44 words) prompt this week…
mist hangs thin veil
covers landscape,
shrouds horizon.
sky heavy with humidity
air’s mood presses in,
mildly claustrophobic;
when clouds cannot rain.
hair hangs thick veil
covers face,
shrouds emotion.
heart heavy with futility
mind’s mood presses in,
wildly claustrophobic;
when tears cannot reign.

Such meticulously crafted mirroring of the mental with the physical, Lynn. Interesting title too, about the uncontainability of pressure. Rings true for many a claustrophobic heart in this claustrophobic world.

Thanks for your insightful comments, Colin. I appreciate that you took time to consider.

The claustrophobia aspect is interesting here: how it’s not the dissipation of the clouds that would be freeing but the release of the pent up moisture.

Exactly!
