| For
the autumn 2012 meeting of the Poetry Group, members were encouraged to
write a poem on the subject of the weather, perhaps reflecting on the
lovely hot summer that we didn't have this year. |
The rain it raineth every day
Upon the just and the unjust
Or so they say
It must be coming from the west
In heavy cloud bursts,
More suited to the ducks
Than to you or me.
The north wind doth blow
And we shall have snow
Cold fronts will come through
With sleet and blizzards.
It may look pretty But how we shiver
And add a layer.
The wind coming from the south
Brings with it warmth at last
The sun shines out
everything looks bright
We venture out
Along the lanes and pathways
To wonder at the beauty all about.
When the wind comes from the east
It is said to bring blasts from Russia
Or from the continent at least.
It may be cold, Or it may be warm High or low pressure
It’s still from the east.
