Rain
This Summer we had much rain.
Not unusual in our water soaked clime.
But in Summer you'd think the Sun we'd gain.
We're entering Autumn soon, but I hope the rain stays away and it is fine.
Rain is so inconvenient, wet, cold, cloying to clothes, in the main.
And saturates footwear which is mine.
Wellingtons/Galloshes are the best to ward off the rain.
Let's get out of the rain and go and dine?
Rain makes me eat; I'm bound to gain.
What a good idea too; I'll have wine.
Some rainy days aren't so rainy after all.
Especially if you meet someone in the rain in fall.

We Get Snowed In
The roads clogged
with winter
we try to unburden
the sidewalk
but the driveway
leads nowhere.
.
The shrubs bend,
the trees wait
for a breeze
to uncloak their
newly knit sweaters.
.
The fire roars inside,
the furnace temp
nudged up a bit
more. Break out
the games, we
will be here
for a day longer
at least.
