January Weather ©
Stella
Fife, Scotland
2004
Forecast is bleak
Freezing snow and the wind
That drives drifts
We all are in this together
From our firesides
Listening and watching
No news is good news
Yet one newsworthy item
Brings heartache to some
These days I fill a flask
Wear an extra layer
Think of bed as a haven
Those whose work is to clear
The way to commerce
They have their jackets on
As I settle in warmth
Book poised just so
Others are battling the elements
Some things are larger
Than all of us
Weather being number one
