Weather Forecast

My 
year will
start with nice
temperatures -
around mid-fifties -
a bit warm for this time
of year, but the warming trend
continues as winds of friendship
breeze in! I can expect small showers 
of poetry praise with intermittent
thunder storms on my horizon as well.
On the family front, there should be
plenty of clear skies ahead, but
occasional cloud bursts will 
mix with blustery winds.
After a dry spell, 
my muse will be
refreshed by
crisp fall
days.

Jan. 29, 2018 for Viv Wigley's Weather Forecast 2018 Poetry Contest
(It's true so far. The temperatures have been fantastic here for winter!)

Fabulous again Andrea, loving catching up on your poems today. Splendid idea of the shape of a sail for this poem as if using it as a gauge to forecast the weather! Warm regards, Laura.

I enjoyed reading your elegant etheree, Andrea. I've been eyeing the prompt, but my muse seems to be on a dry spell these days. But I don't want to wait until fall!

What would you want to caste for or from a dorm with woman who had a great form who will have to wait until the weather is warm and not a storm. What is your theory regarding a good etheree?
