"flood forecast" (Entry 554)

never ending rain:

deluge over many days

more to come, pour on

*************

Almost there! Just one more day... See you tomorrow...

"storms end" (Entry 532)

torrential it falls

raining waves on and on and

until grey storms end

"Here is the Mood Forecast" (Entry 495)

Drip!

A drop of inspiration,

or a wet puddle of self doubt?

Splash of colour,

or drenched in drab?

A rainbow after the storm,

or just more grey skies?

Sun to follow 

or always downcast?

What’s the forecast to be?

"Wails about Gales" (Entry 485)

Doom and gloom 

Shouted the news. 

Armageddon's blowing down. 

Winds and rains,

Rattled at panes. 

Throughout the fields and the towns. 

Some destruction. 

Sadly deaths. 

Though most can tell the tale. 

Stormy night. 

Caused a fright. 

Onwards goes our time of gales. 

*************

My love and best wishes to all those affected by last night's/this morning's storms here in the UK.

"A Little Rain" (Entry 468)

Patter on, little rain. 

It's your job, every now and again. 

Pitter on the windowpane. 

I will watch, and here I'll remain. 

Until the time,

When your work is done. 

Then I will leave

To play in the sun. 

"We Didn't Notice The Rain" (Entry 373)

We didn't notice. 

Not straight away. 

If at all, 

We gazed to say,

"Thank Goodness, the rain's stopped. 

No umbrella this day."

We cheered the sun beamed and smiled. 

We can plan that Barbecue...

Fingers crossed - touch wood. 

It will stay clear. 

Without fear, clear it stayed. 

No rain. Clouds disappeared. 

Unexpected heat wave,

Announced the recalculating weather bureau. 

Who knew? (They didn't.)

Cor! Wot A Scorcher!

Leered the tabloids,

Showing scantily clad peaches on beaches. 

Water rationing into place. 

Two months after the rain ceased. 

Just to be on the safe side,

Murmured over-paid aides in Government and Utilities. 

Both wringing hands in greed and sweat.

(Ways of wealth increase of us? You bet!)

Panic 

Set in as storage levels dropped. 

Draught becoming crisis. 

Asthmatic mist hung over the land

Wheezing and sucking last moisture from earth. 

Weak winds grasped and gasped. 

No water in reservoirs or rivers. 

No water in ponds or lakes. 

On shelves in bottles became extinct. 

A drop of pure more valued than diamond or gold 

No meaning linked to money, itself. 

Sea levels dropped as tides weakened world wide. 

Humans no equipped for fittest survival. 

After the rain stopped,

Grass and trees,

To elephant and bees,

Withered and dried to die

And so did we.
