Stormy Day In Cyprus

Went out to the overtures heralding a stormy day,
The cacophony of thunder and lightning display.
Rivers of rain came pouring down from the hills,
Overflowing from the drain and the gully.
As folk to shelter they quickly did scurry.
Snow on The Troodos, so I was told,
Will help fill the dams as the winter unfolds.
Cosy and warm as I gaze outside,
A mug of mint tea by the fireside.
The wind shakes the trees with it's howling cry.
On this stormy grey day, with my book, I'll get by.

Isaiah Zerbst Date: 1/15/2015 9:15:00 AM I really appreciate your interest in my poetry, Dave. You have some very good couplets here yourself. It makes me feel warm even though there is snow outside and no fire. Login to Reply Dave Timperley Date: 1/16/2015 2:39:00 PM it is the season of changable weather here until March.
