Notice of absence from Tom Dylan
Sorry if there is a delay in responses. Sometimes life gets in the way. As John Lennon said, life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

Reading poetry in the lamp glow
on a rainy afternoon
as a storm whose name I forget
taps its fingers on my window,
is just a delight,
is like waking from
the best night's sleep
to find it's Saturday,
like sitting up after the well-needed massage
you've had booked for weeks,
like when your awful
hangover shifts,
and you feel like yourself
once again.

Some great examples of feeling good and yes poetry can be one. Lovely
Thanks a lot, Soren. I was inspired to write this after the recent storms. It was quite nice to be inside reading.
The main issue is having a secure roof, solid walls and foundations which form your sanctuary.
Good to see you back, Tom.
Yes that's exactly it, Dave. We've had lots of storms recently. Good reading weather. And thanks for the nudge to try posting again. 🙂
'Welcome,Tom.👍
And once again and yet again. A position that I shift toward every chance I get! Writing too, not to leave that out👍🏻 Liked and Faved ⭐️
Oh yes, when the storm is raging outside, that is perfect reading, and writing weather. Time to get the kettle on and get comfortable. Thanks for your comments. Really appreciated.
Cheers mate! It’s raining here right now and I’m poeting by low light… have a pleasant one! 👍🏻
You got that kettle on?! lol. Oh well, only about 12 days and it starts getting lighter again.
Oh yes, the shortest day and all that. The way the weeks are going it will soon be spring. And yes, time for a brew. 🙂
Then in Summer I suppose we could say - be glad - we've still got 12 days of Summer left.
But for now - wishing away the dark evenings?
Heehee I really depress some folk. When it's just past the Longest Day in June I may say 'Cheer up, the nights are drawing in now!'
You do make me smile, Orchi! 🙂 I dont mind the nights drawing in and like autumn etc, but not a fan of the Ch word.
Excellent write Tom
Thanks Tony, appreciated.
You're welcome
Don’t you just love it when you can indulge in reading poetry for a couple of hours without being rudely interrupted by those who want you to spend your time on other projects:) This poem warms the heart Tom.
That is exactly it. A nice cup of tea, reading poetry, while the storm rages outside. Just lovely. Thanks for your comments, Cassie. Really appreciated.
Wouldn't be a bad way to pass away, Tom?!
A warm write.

I can't be sure but it seems I might have been in at least some of these places. Nice work.

Reminds me of Keats ‘Keen fitful Gusts are whispering here and there’. When he can’t wait to be in a Cottage to read Poetry.
