Cold grey days slide one into another
Neither dark nor light to distinguish
Monotone mediocrity
Great Nature offers solace
To threadbare emotions
Wearied by clichés
Expectations
A duty-bound
Presence
Palls
Peace
Imbibed
With each breath
A renewal
Wide green horizons
Balm for weary eyes
Too long fixed on a screen
Mirroring and distorting
Quotidian exigencies
Step outside the confines of the box
Beyond the threshold, the heart finds its home
Double etheree for Colleen’s poetry challenge
Press a button or two to share... go on, make my day :)

I’m experiencing the gray days of spring, here in Arizona. While the desert welcomes and needs the moisture, I’m luxuriating in the dullness of the sky. These gray days are few and far between which makes me love them all the more. Your verse speaks to me of spring’s rebirth waiting in the wings to refresh us all. So lovely, Sue. ❤

Not for a this particular challenge response, no. It is an exercise in sticking within the constricted and predetermined syllabic form of the double etheree.
