3. Your poem may be short and sweet, but I felt immersed in the overcast sky – it poured with rain here this afternoon, followed by bright sunshine – and then more rain. The flowers perked up too.

   • After a dry summer rain is a blessing.

     • It is.

4. nuggets of wisdom

   • sometimes it as all that is needed

5. Ain’t that so true! Pewter is the perfect way to describe an overcast sky.

   • Indeed… and no silver lining really

     • Indeed…

6. “the blessing of rain
   can only be wrung
   from an overcast sky.”

   Love this.🍋

   • Thank you… the word wrung is one I love.

7. Your short poem brought me comfort. I want it to rain here in L.A. at least to feel a bit fresh.

   • Rain can be a blessing, but often the overcast sky is less fun

     • And rain and overcast can sometimes change the mood for anyone.

19. I’ve always thought the best gifts come in small boxes ~~ like your poem.

20. Next time I would like to see how you wring them from the sky. Like the metaphor but I still don’t know what it means. unless impossible, forget?

21. p.s. Jim again. I like to travel, been to your land a few times, travel is my other middle name, been to 82+ countries. I’ve been retired 24 years to do all the wandering. BTW, I was an Aerospace Engineer at New Hampshire for three years making a satellite tracking station work for the Airforce and then 16 more years at NASA Houston Space Center in the Control Center, simulations and missions.

22. One makes one’s choices and one must take a step to enact, wonderful poem Bjorn.

23. Beautiful!
