No accounting for the weather

Ominous cirrocumulus clouds in the western horizon

an on going war in the east

icy winds from the north

moisture from the south

 

Pouring black strong morning coffee

wondering what today will bring

asking myself if its happiness I seek

or is it pleasure I prefer

 

Watching the storm gain strength

shadows lengthen with the blocking of the sun

temperatures drop

counting down to the first clap of thunder

 

Thunder arrives

windowpanes rattle

power goes out

I return to bed

"Pouring black strong morning coffee

wondering what today will bring

asking myself if its happiness I seek

or is it pleasure I prefer"

I like this poem and the pondering aspect...:)...............
