Micro Poetry ~ Uncomplicated Things

Greetings to all! Today is the day we put the "mini' back into the Sunday Mini-Challenge, and return to the option of form poetry. The object of this challenge is to write a poem in no more than 10 lines (but you may write in fewer than 10 lines all the way down to a single American sentence). Choose your own form or write in free verse, if preferred.

This weekend, our frame of reference is "Uncomplicated Things" - from the second line of the poem, The Moon, by Leonard Cohen. I look forward to reading a number of short poems, from Saturday through to Monday. The link does not expire, so please feel free to write more than one poem, and a return to comment on poems linked later would be appreciated.

    I wrote this just last night during one of those intense sudden rain storms that only happen at night. Seredipity.

    Three short poems wrote themselves for a triptych uncomplicated in hue if not dolor. Or was that the other way around? Anyway, thanks for opening another Pandora's box, Kerry, while the moon shows us today what is in hers.
