The Weather Is Changing

This is not about global warming or climate change. I believe in neither. The weather has always been changing, it doesn't suffer from stagnation.

Yesterday
it was warm
the sky was bright and blue
the breeze was warm
green leaves gently fluttered
flowers bobbed and bowed under the winds influence

today
I'm walking through a heavy down power
it is so cold I feel I need gloves
the wind is whipping about
the sky is dark grey
almost night black
tree leaves are almost torn from their limbs
I huddle in the storm
lightening flashes
thunder rumbles
I race along the sidewalk
not caring if I look stupid
I just want to get home

80 degrees yesterday
54 degrees next
How the weather, she is changing
Like the child I was one upon a time
I hope for snowfalls
this winter
such as my grandmother use to tell me about

Yeah

Excellent piece. I like the imagery and topic of weather changing quickly. Cool touch at the end, snow has been few here where I live each Winter lately, not like in the old days. Very nice pen upon this piece.

So very true. The weather here changes quicker than I can change my mind. This was a very well written piece. I remember listening to the wise ones before discussing the weather and how often it changed.
