Lingo

I love today's challenge! We're to 'write a poem that starts from a regional phrase, particularly one to describe a weather phenomenon.' I think I'm going to have fun with this one...


A monkey's wedding

Patches of blue
peaked through
heavy clouds;
bright blue 
against darkness

Showers of blessings
poured from the sky
alongside beams of sunshine

'Ah, it's a monkey's wedding,'
someone would say,
and I'd imagine
their vows
taken under a tree somewhere
beneath the black and blue sky,
and they'd run away,
laughing in the rain and shine.
