Weather Forecast

Stormy evil night Is when dark creatures come out The clouds envelope Lightning illuminates ground Where darkness caresses all The night quickly leaves And the sunny day begins Light shines with pleasure Peace abounds, golden rays beam And warm clouds show heartfelt love Entrant into Joy Wellington's "Weather Forecast" contest 9/9/2012

Hey Rus. I loved the Halloween take on this. Starts dark and foreboding, but fears out nice and bright. The essence of the contest. Thanks and congrats. One love. Joy Wells
