Synonymous With Grey

A skittish sun silently slips away;
      a dank darkness overshadows the day.
And the children must go inside to play;
      all outdoor games have been placed on delay.

April showers, synonymous with grey,
      signify a spring storm is on its way.
And as a sprinkle grows into a spray,
      everyone takes shelter like frightened prey.

Lightning invokes images of doomsday,
      the electrified sky placed on display.
And as winds blow, all is in disarray;
      the fabric of time and space starts to fray.

But the thunderstorm soon begins to stray;
      cumulus clouds masking its getaway.
And a bashful sun leaves its hideaway;
      while the rest of the day gets underway.

Judy Ball Date: 4/3/2022 8:55:00 AM I really like this Emile. You describe a rainy day so well. Here in Alberta I think we are about to start getting our Spring showers. Hope so anyway. Yesterday we got freezing rain which turned into snow and then froze. (sigh) Nice job here.
