Bad Weather Blues

Snow I welcome,
Rain I bear.
But this stupid weather
Neither here nor there.

My soul it falls
Down through my shoes.
Fully fledged bad weather blues.

Ninety percent chance they say,
Of grot tomorrow,
Oh, and today!

Freezing fog and winds of ice.
Grey and manky,
Oh how nice.

But light I see, not far away,
Soon to reach shortest day.
After that the days grow long
And pretty soon the summer song.

Of birds and bees and growing things.
And all the joy the sunshine brings.

So I ignore the squelch of sodden shoes.
I valiant fight bad weather blues.
I soldier on despite the pain.
Knowing soon I'll welcome ...
... summer rain.

Windy Weather

You force my house to creek As you try to blow it down. But you are no wolf, And this is no straw town. You can break some branches of trees, This little valley won't hurt for it.

Rain

Look out the window the sky covered in grey. The rain cloud covers the sun A miserable face on everyone.

Seasons.

We begin with summer, When heat is all, When leaves and flowers, And ivy crawl, The heat is harsh, And loved by some, When others wish- -for a little less sun.

Cloudy Eggs

I guess when things get cloudy We forget. We forget the sky's still there Past the murk If only we care to remember it. We forget the sun still shines Behind her dressing screen.

@sleepydragon. Thank you! I don't mind the rain if I'm wrapped up warm (or indoors) but the grey that comes with it is grim 😝. Thanks for reading ❤
