Andrea Dietrich Poet Etheree

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!)

James Horn January 30, 2018 at 11:15 AM 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?
