Poured Out From the Skies

When one looks out on their day
the first thing that comes to mind
is what the weather is for us this day
nine times out of ten none can find

The one forecast we all don't want
a four-letter word called simply rain
maybe those in hot lands can take it
but the rest of us feel it a real pain

Living in a wet climate here like I do
if in Scotland just had a bit more sun
but then we'd complain it was too much
never mind pouring  it down like fun

Poured out from the skies
these clouds just burst alive
pure clear waterfalls on me
for how long? I'll give it five!

Hi Gordon, Scotland is cold and wet but my husband and I did a tour of England and went as far as Edinburgh three years ago. we were sorry we hadn't left more time to stay longer. Love your rhyming poems. Kind regards, Jennifer.

Enjoyed reading many of your poems, lovely religious poems as well as nature. Thank you for your thoughts of our connection, been thinking a lot about it since dealing with rare sickness and fatigue. From knowledge of ancestors all from England and Scotland, nice to read your poems.
