Split

 

Nation divided

by weather and politics;

flood, drought and Brexit.

Hail

 

At first a gentle

plink plink tapping the windows,

then the crescendo.

Ophelia enters

 

October records

due to be broken as the

warm weather moves in.

Showers

 

August continues

where July left off, frontal

weather stream remains.

 

by Scooj

Summer interrupted (for a day)

 

Let the sun shine in

or at least a cloudy sky;

break in dry weather.

Parched

 

Long dry Summer days

sucking moisture from the earth;

new cracks in the lawn.

Overcast

.

Uncompromising 

Mother Earth is in torpor

awaiting new life.

Rain

 

Much needed although

unwelcome interruption;

the heavens open.

 

by Scooj

Dry

 

Prolonged dry weather,

as we call it in the trade,

set to hang about.

 

by Scooj

Brrrr

 

After days of warmth

a chilly north wind reclaims

Winter’s legacy.
