Old Timer Rhymer Poet Rhyme

Grey Days

Shades of grey cascades on rainy days

Petrichor reigns after each pitter patter

Radiance of earthy fragrance does flatter

Teardrops down panes.. splitter splatter

Fades to whiffs chiding riffs spit scatter

Forever about weather they do natter

Seems the one thing that does matter 


Flowers cowers at showers which batter

Tiffs as petal in fine fettle does shatter

Down trodden by a sodden mad hatter 

Raised bed fed on shed drops clatter

Spoils for alluvial soils a pluvial platter  

Some veg in tatters others seem fatter

Folks chitter chatter.. prefer the latter


Cumulus nimbus nimbly flitter & flutter 

Sunrays grasp after a last gasp stutter

Sliding gliding riding wooden shutter

Rasp of uncouth din off a roof of tin

Staccato rinse & repeat beat does utter

Burgling drains & gurgling in the gutter


Huddles of puddles cuddle and splutter

Parched Earth’s skin softens like butter

Mother Nature's own homegrown nutter

Folks groan have to clear up soaked clutter 

Mumble prone to moan but not a tut tutter 

Mustn't grumble need the tumble they mutter
