A Tartan Mixture of Water and Wind

The Scottish climate is something else
there's a coldness that bites within
one needs well wrapped up outside
protect your inner soul so not to sin

Its renowned climate here in Scotland
with so much rainfall through the year
one never knows what the forecast says
anythings possible when rain does hear

There is a force that comes through
the hills and mountains of Scotland
these winds can be so very strong
really blows victor over many a hand

On the North coastlines full force
both east and west can tear life apart
winds come in off the turbulent waves
at such force, many point them as art

In the spring/summer times its not all bad
it can be so lovely with a little sunshine
these times can be few among the rest
all these tests you so how is your spine?

(This is written about the weather in Scotland.)

I've heard Scottish weather is much like England. I've never been to either place but it can be interesting. I've read of course about both places and would love to see them both. As always Gordon I enjoyed the read very much. God Bless and Merry Christmas. JB

Thanks Judy, Glad you enjoyed this one and the weather over here is rather inconsistent to say the least. Have a blessed Christmas, Gordon
