Janet Eaton Poet I do not know?

A Storm Is a Brewing

Dark grey clouds behind the barren trees
Snow is on the ground, yet it is 50 degrees
There is a storm a brewing that is easy to see
Rain, ice and snow they say is going to be.
The squirrels scurry about in hopes a nut will be found
Before the snow arrives and they are tree bound
People hustle and bustle to the store they go
Stocking up on groceries and spending all their dough
Old man winter must not done with us yet
They are saying this one could be the worse one yet.

Constance La France March 4, 2015 at 4:44 PM Janet, like your poem very much, it sounds like my weather, the temperature was not bad today but that wind was biting, old man winter is not finished with me that is for sure and thanks for visiting my poetry today .. . Janet Eaton March 4, 2015 at 5:15 PM Thank you. When Spring finally arrives we won't trust that it is truly here. Ice and snow today and temps in the single digits. Tomorrow it is to be in the 30's whoo hoo:) Hugs Janet

Brian Townsend March 4, 2015 at 1:31 PM Good imagery, Jan! 'Old man Winter must not BE done with us yet.' right? ;) Janet Eaton March 4, 2015 at 5:16 PM Hi Brian, Thank you for stopping in and commenting. I am so ready for old man winter to tire of us:) Hugs Janet

Richard Lamoureux March 4, 2015 at 10:20 AM I was in Tofino on Vancouver Island and we were in shorts and bathing suits. I live in the Okanagan Valley on Lake Okanagan in the heart of wine country. We live in a desert very warm and dry. Most people are unaware that this climate exists in Canada. Our winters tend to be very mild and the summers are dry and hot. Janet Eaton March 4, 2015 at 5:18 PM I did not know that Canada had areas with that climate. Just so you know I am jealous right now:) Hugs Janet

Richard Lamoureux March 4, 2015 at 8:45 AM We have been having amazing weather for the last month. This is even more surprising because I live in Canada. I hope old man winter gives you some relief soon. Janet Eaton March 4, 2015 at 8:58 AM Hi Richard, I may have to move to Canada lol I don't think we are going to get as much as they thought we will see. So far have had a night of rain, morning of ice and now snowing. Accidents everywhere. Next week 60 degrees:) (they say)

Lindsay Laurie March 3, 2015 at 5:55 PM G'day Janet... Nicely rhymed Janet, but I dare say the frustration of winter hanging on is getting beyond the joke. Regards - Lindsay Janet Eaton March 3, 2015 at 6:02 PM I am in agreement with you Lindsay enough is enough. Thanks for stopping in. Hugs Janet
