Notes About The Poem

Weather Forecast

*****


                                A weather forecast :
                       Expect frozen rain, snow squalls.
                             Warning! Please stay home.

                              The angry gray clouds
                 taunts the calm wind's, sneers ~ Please blow!
                              Gusts fiercely ~ GO!

                                The cold, chilly rain
                        changed from rain to clear sleet.
                                 propels ice pellets.

                               The clear ice frolics.
                         across the clear window pane.
                               Hurling and twirling

                            With temperature change
                          The ice turned to fluffy snow.
                          Harsh winds bring blizzards.

                            Two-foot-high snow drifts
                      thermometer rises, snow melts.
                               A warm, sunny day

                             The weather forecast:
                     Expect frozen rains, snow squalls.
                          Warning! Please stay home.

Sara Kendrick January 29, 2022 at 4:23 AM Exactly as it has been lately. Aren't we glad we can stay home? I enjoy those two or three days of warmth before the next howling wind appears. I enjoyed reading this one because it seems I am there. Your visit to my page was encouraging. Sara Debra L Brown January 29, 2022 at 11:31 AM I glad you enjoyed the poem. We just got several inches last night. I guest I'm still living it. Thanks Sara. Blessings ~ Debra

Paul Callus January 22, 2022 at 6:39 AM I enjoyed your "weather forecast", Debra. I'm tempted to offer you a job with "Weather Channel" :) Hopefully your chilly days will soon become a thing of the past. Time to play "Aquarius (Let the Sunshine in)". // paul Debra L Brown January 27, 2022 at 3:00 PM Hi Paul, I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. I had a good time writing it. But I guess I'll just stick to staring out my rear window to predict the weather. I'll leave the actual predicting to the experts. Keep warm ~ Debra

Anitha Jayasankar January 21, 2022 at 5:16 AM Very good effort in writing a series of Haikus on the weather forecast on winter storm...I enjoyed reading sweet friend...We rarely experience extreme winter here in India...How is the situation there now? Stay safe dear...Best wishes and hugs...~ Ani Debra L Brown January 21, 2022 at 2:07 PM I's a joy to speak with you, Ani, and thank you for your thoughtful thoughts.

I'm delighted to speak with you. We're still digging out from the snowstorm, and it's 28 degrees with an overcast.

Victor Buhagiar January 18, 2022 at 12:25 AM That's where I've been this whole week. Does one die from a sore throat? Hugs, Debra L Brown January 18, 2022 at 5:22 AM Hello! Victor, Prayers for a quick recovery. Thanks for your comment. Blessings & Hugs~ Debra

Anil Deo January 17, 2022 at 10:44 PM Good work for bad weather? We had an early December hailstorm, & cars still go around with back windshields pockmarked with machine gun fire. I'd never seen baseball size hail in USA (or anywhere else!) Shalom. PTL Debra L Brown January 18, 2022 at 5:15 AM Thanks for your comment. Before it turned to snow, we had ice pellets falling. It resulted in poor driving conditions.We'll be digging out for a while. Nice to talk to Blessings and prayers always ~ Debra

Harry Horsman January 17, 2022 at 10:23 PM Wow, Debra, sat here in my room Perth western Australia, reading these gems of yours, its forecast here, for the next 8 days, around 40 degrees 104F in your language. At least it was a nice chilly read. Debra L Brown January 18, 2022 at 5:08 AM Thank you very much for your comment. During the storm I wrote this poem. It's been in the low 30's. I have snow drifts in my back yard, will be digging out for sometime. I've been unable to post because the internet has been on and off. Keep warm, Blessings ~ Debra

Judy Ball January 17, 2022 at 7:41 PM WoW! Those warnings are no stranger to me. Anybody who doesn't stay is is foolish. Good write with exceptional imagery and emotion. God Bless, JB Debra L Brown January 18, 2022 at 4:37 AM While we were in the midst of the storm, I wrote this. I could sit and stare at the dark clouds outside my window. "Calm before the storm," as the phrase goes. Thank you for your comment. Blessings ~ Debra

M. L. Kiser January 17, 2022 at 5:40 PM I certainly will stay in if that's coming. Well penned. Debra L Brown January 18, 2022 at 4:29 AM This poem was written in the midst of a snowstorm. Throughout the day, storm warnings were issued. Thank you for your comment. Blessings ~ Debra
