Misty Peaks

While pretty blue skies are off making hay

What were white clouds have turned awfully dark grey

Misty mountain’s refuse to take quick ‘peaks’

With snow falling for a buncha white weeks

 

While puddles have formed to reflect bare trees

Squirrels are nestled away from the freeze

Hive doors are shut tight by soaked bumblebees

Even pet puppies won’t go for pee-pees

 

Blackcaps and Towhees purchased umbrellas

Which they share with other feathered fellas

Flowers won’t hazard to say a hello

And creeks have tumbled into overflow

 

But every so often a drop of sun

Warms me from my head right down past my bum

clever little bit of everything in this one. you paint a seasonal time with words and shivering imagery. title would make a great name for a stripper but i doubt she would want to take anything off in this chill ... :)

ya, I wouldn't want to be cast for the leading role in this one
Watch for your Mother and have a great day
