Celsius

Minus twenty-two

Bird-dish rim frozen solid

Wishing for springtime

Weather Watch

Cold as a witch’s

Outside today; switching on

The gas fire again.

Weather Beaten

Rain, rain, and more rain,

It doesn’t take long, to start

Complaining again.

Reprieve

After days and days

Of sunny rays, at last rain!

Songbirds sing with joy.

The White Stuff

You’re a soft blanket

On a sunny day, but when

The wind’s behind you,

You’re viciously cold—you’re a

Nasty old slap in the face!
