Must you read the Weather Forecast?

[arunansu]

Even if it pours
I wont take out an umbrella
or cover myself with a raincoat

I shall keep some biscuits in my pocket
for puppy dreams to chew
rather than float paper boats

Paper boats can’t travel far
they can only unfold
the secrets of a cloudy mind

I wont mind
the wetting of my sultry lips
and salty roads

Let the sky decide
its colours for tomorrow.

[Kilravluis]

Hello Aru - A couple of things

I shall keep some biscuits in my pocket
for puppy dreams to chew - the puppy dreams cloys a little - it's too twee. Plus if you forgo the umbrella and raincoat, your biscuits woud be all soggy! I like the idea of the paper boat but you need to compare it with something other than puppy dreams.

the wetting of my sultry lips - If you're using sultry to mean dry, then I'd choose another word - arid, maybe. If you're comparing your lips with, say, Marilyn Monroe, then you have the right word - in describing lips it's usually used to mean expressing or arousing desire.

nice one - good final couplet.

Nice defiance to the weather forcecast Aru, i'm inclined to feel the same when i see how dire the weather is where i live

It's very typically you Aru, the structure and flow is very gentle and soothing and the narrative always seems very friendly and inviting. Just a few points though:

Paper boats can’t travel far
they can only unfold
the secrets of a cloudy mind- This stanza seemed a bit too 'mystical' for my liking, a little bit contrived in comparison to the easy style of the other stanzas. The word 'unfold' seems draining on the stanza IMO.

Other than that though, a very serene and dreamy piece which i enjoyed reading
