April Showers

thunder’s angry tone
pitched against a murky sky
April showers flow

Bamboozled

Weather,
mood changes on
a dime. If had a dime
for every time I’d been fooled, I’d
take it.

chaotically
white tufts drift on the wild wind
spring patiently waits

Nature of Things

She is a whiffler
Indeed, it is her nature
The weather obeys

Sunday

It was bright and overcast at the same time. The sun dominated half of the sky, while the other half yielded to dark threatening clouds. It was still hot and bright, enough so that I was cheering on the clouds and wishing for rain. It never came, but it was a beautiful day regardless of my momentary discomfort. I was secretly grateful for it because I know winter is coming to New England sooner than I appreciate.

Storm Warning

A Nor’easter looms –
Wind blows a dangerous threat,
Warm and cold collide
