Freya Is Her Name

Glorious sunny days of late 
such warmth and so inviting
buds burst into flower 
every minute of every hour
say goodbye to winter gloom 
cold and dismal winter days
for spring is here the sun is out
and I am off to catch some rays

But oh that wind is getting stronger
blowing from the West
experts forecast snow and rain 
so put away my summer dress
for it is only early March 
seduced by February’s warmth
spring really has not sprung at all
where did I put my cashmere shawl

So warn those budding shrubs and trees
the wind and snow is on the way
and tell the buds they should stay put
too early for their spring display
such cold and windy weather today
for those who live within the UK

Storm Freya is the culprit 
for Freya is her name 
and any damage she may cause 
Freya must take the blame


Written 2nd March 2019

Our unseasonably warm weather comes to an end with the threat of Storm Freya – she is certainly no friend!
