View from the window: Wet and Warm


I looked out of the Vestibule window this morning
The glare was bright, but without warning
I saw that the trees were all wobbly-like
As the rain was falling with all its might
I couldn’t see further beyond the trees
But the Mansion does that, it likes to tease
A tropical rainstorm seems to be in place
So I think I’ll stay in – just in case

White Rabbits!
Happy August everyone! (Now why does that seem to ring a bell? Hmmm…)

    Yeah we’ve had rain here too and we’ve been told to expect more… 😦

    Good Poem Tom! 🙂

    God Bless!

      Thanks, Prenin.
      I don’t think the weather can make up its mind at the moment. It’s warm and wet, then cold and wet, then dark and wet, then hot and sunny, then hot and rainy… I’m enjoying the nice rain, though, I must admit.

    Nothing normal about the weather anymore. It’s been manipulated one too many times! I vote to go back to the way things were! VK

      I agree, VK! Let’s go back to when we had seasons for a start!

    Weather, weather everywhere but not a drop of sun. It’s coolish out and we’re expecting showers today. Ugh.

      Showers are good, Tess, after the off-the-scale heat we’ve just gone through. It’s still warm, mind…

        I’ve heard rumors we should have a sun-blasted August. So far, there’s no proof.

          I’m not anti-sun, just anti-over-hot… I’m hoping we’ve had our sun-blast this year, and we can now have a nice rest of summer…

    Happy August back at you, Tom. Appropriately while I was reading this lovely poem at The Grind, my colleague, Godsend, was streaming Alice Cooper’s “School’s Out”. August always bummed me out as a kid. Now, I just hope this August is not tropically hot, but at least heavy rainstorms blow off the humidity — for about ten minutes.

      Any freshness is better than none at all, LA. But it’s that nice lingering freshness that we all really want, even if I speak for the whole population of the planet there!
