The Week Ahead

So. Let's see what's in store for today...
Will the elements function our way?
There'll be plenty of sun
For us all to have fun
Outside wether it's for work or play!

Mountains will form in the sky through the week.
Apologies all. I know it sounds bleak. 
There'll be rain, hail and snow
From destructive storm Joe!
Heed warnings, keep up to date, shelter seek.

When Joe travels on overseas,
Beware on the road of felled trees.
Don't panic. Keep calm.
No need for alarm.
Worse things bring down communities.

The weekend looks clearer and bright.
A crisp frost will greet morning light.
But wrap up nice and warm.
Ice will stay on your lawn.
You'll see shooting stars Sunday night.

Quite hectic weather, to summarise.
But dear friends, do keep watching the skies.
I've had such a blast!
Tis my last forecast.
It's time to say all my goodbyes.

Thanks Sara. :-D Do we still have seasons?? :-O The weather system is well up the creek now it's hard to know where we're at. Sometimes a day contains all four seasons :-D

Thank you Andrea. Seeing other poets use Limerick clusters to tell a story inspired me to try the same with this one. Plus there's been many named storms in recent months so I thought I'd call my storm Joe .. lol. It was fun to write. :-D :-D :-D
