I am here to confide it's countrywide
as whenever the British gather together
the first topic of their conversation
is almost always the inclement weather
whatever precipitates such predominant
drizzle discussion drenching debate
or downpour discourse
I do not know and cannot relate
soggy foggy or boggy it's one and the same
altho' it's plain we know where stays the rain in Spain
it has also been seen to land on England's pleasant green
yet after such falls mostly all goes down the drain
yet without its descent on the Emerald Isle
there'd be no rainbows to make me smile
but fleeting I do remember it well and can recall
out of three hundred and sixty-five it was the one day
when nothing liquid dripped down from the sky
and as a result last year summer was on a Monday
Inclement
Of course, skies are not always clear
our Inclement Mother – we give a pass
for the flowers and crops seem to outweigh
the floods and drownings – besides, we choose
where we reside and pray – even God disadvantaged
often by our resident churches. Sadly, Love Offerings
are not so different, from other commodities: 10% or
be damned! Silver or gold is OK, even man’s processed
paper stand-in just as good...got to admit, a hell of
a price to pay, if faith and community are in the same
pocket. I have no measure outside my heart...which I
try to keep open.
Forecasting hurricanes
predict outbreaks of pretty 24 hour weather girls.
Sparrows seek the sheltering wings
of owls and hawks.
Stay in your recharging electric cars -
hand on tight.
By midnight total destruction
of garden gnomes and ornamental flamingos
is guaranteed.
Survivors are asked to remain in their bath tubs
until absolutely clean.

Forecast assault finds escape from clouds
Inclement mergings sign paper in silver
Falling endeavour from a Heaven endowed
Immense amassing released with rigor
Swept sheets of net beaded curtain search
Momentum saturates parched pasture
Stage dim when naive characters rehearse
Mammoth roles next act has parts for
Novices devise novels with nurture of rain
License to listen for unscripted spirit
Ripens chapters via brimming quill sustain
Built where subtle begets significant
7th December
- Conception -
... because it rhymes with 7 -
- check my running theme...
Winter weather of snow and ice are both beautiful and a hindrance
beautifully white - forces us to take a break - to rest and recoup
