Resounding Parade

early morning rain,
sound off insane...
  only rain,
a resounding parade,
frothing with power
for a few hours —
brought back the cold.
bleak sticks and gray stones,
wind and leafless trees again
colorless sky.
                   i may have to trade,
       once again,
thin shirt for warmer weather —
a sweatshirt or sweater.
  no snowmen
    smudging my window,
only twirling wet prints 
of birds, foxes, umbrellas.

I hear the rain and I smile. No snow here either. Like the way you gave rain a voice.

Winter has definitely got its foot in the door, the wet and gloom lowers our spirits but soon we'll celebrate our saviours birth that gives us renewed hope for what lies ahead. Tom

Winter always brings in the cold. We hope for better times. Hope you're well as I haven't heard from you lately.
