Poem Artwork

Thought it Spring:
so God sent down
an arctic blast to
shiver the bones -----

Grabbed my coat.
Not so fast, said He,
heating the sun to
the boiling point -----

And of course, forgot
the umbrella.  Don't
you know that's when
it came up a flood -----

Dripped my way home
where it is warm and
dry.  So he sent down
a lightning bolt -----

Poof!  No power.  Sooo
glad He's having a good
laugh at my expense -----
afraid to ask, 'What next?'

(c) 2010, Karla Dorman (2/3)

Spot on!!! Poem's great; weather not-so-much. So sorry your power went out. Ray and I spend a lot of time holding our breath. Finally forked for a generator, but we're hoping not to have to use it. Can't believe we had 5-6 inches of snow and the power held. Living out from town the way we do, there are more outages.
Hope you have plenty of candles. A lantern? Non-electric heater?
Power's back on now? Hope so!!

Hot chocolate and cozy slippers,

Don't ask. The Texas rain is something else. Each rain drop contains a bucket full of water. As for the thunder, I thought it was hollywood make believe that thunder and lightning happen simultaneously.
Sounds like it's time for another cruise of fun fun fun in the sun sun sun.

i very much suffer from SAD... SAD is how i am when there's not a glimpse of sun in the sky - whatever the time of year. And SAD is how i've been down here in Dorset, mostly, over this super-wet-cold-and-windy winter. But this melange of weather can only mean one thing to me... SPRING is nearly here! :)) We live in hope and can maybe even get even with The Big Weather Man In The Sky by turning out in our latest thermal bikini and solar-panelled raincoat! Your poetry always keeps us guessing, Karla! So what's next?! xx

Karla, I know the weather there is serious, but I couldn't help laughing at your cute poem. "Poof! No power." Haven't we all experienced that. I can live with it in the daytime, but at night I can never find enough candles. I like your "Seasonal Affective Disorder."
