Come Rain Or Shine

So hot So humid But moan I must not For this our summer We’ve waited all year and now it’s arrived moans are all that I hear We moan if it rains and if it’s too hot We moan when the wind blows or when it does not We talk of the weather way into the night For whatever the weather there’s someone who might enjoy it or loath it but one things for sure there’s no other subject ~ that’s talked about more Written 8th September 2021 Contest A STRAND (1061) Sponsor Brian Strand FIRST PLACE

It has been stifling here hence the inspiration for the above poem... Last night we had a massive storm which was really quite refreshing and it has certainly cleared the air. I am ok and I hope you are too. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
