Four Seasons In One Day

Dark and gloomy clouds descend
tips of mountains meet their friends
dropping down to say hello
covers with a little snow.

In the valley down below
rain cloud's burst, makes rivers flow
swollen belly fish go wild
down the rapids for a ride.

Rays of sunshine reappears
brings a smile from ear to ear
feel the heat upon my back
better go and grab my hat.

Winds get up, it starts to rain
hard boiled raindrops we call hail
what's that I hear, a clap of thunder
lightening won't be much longer.

Dorns my raincoat, gets my wellies
umbrella at the ready
opens the door, what do I see
brilliant sunshine smiling back at me.

Removes my raincoat and my boots
place the umbrella back on its hook
I go to leave, go up the town
oh my god! a snowflake came down.

favorite lines: hard boiled raindrops we call hail and I go to leave, go up the town oh my god! a snowflake came down. ===================================== Annette, i just read 'four seasons in one day'. you had one heck of a weather day! i'll place this into Section A of October's showcase, thanks. i'm leaning towards leaving it 'as is'. not sure. maybe. it does have a few 'errors'. there are some other spots i at first wondered about but decided were 'good'. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - if i were to suggest 'corrections', they would be these: 'Dark and gloomy clouds desend'........in u.s. it would be 'descend'. i think it would be in U.K. as well, but i'm not sure. 'what's that I hear, a clap of thunder lightening won't be much longer.'.................scientifically-speaking, i believe the lightning is seen first, before the resulting thunder is heard, because the speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound. ;) i wonder if anyone will commentabout it except me. 'Dorns my raincoat, gets my wellies umbrella at the ready opens the door, what do I see brillant sunshine smiling back at me.'....... 'Dons'/'dons'..............[i believe you misspelled this in another poem ......................................................................................as well] ;) whoever said languages are easy? and 'brilliant'............oops! i BELIEVE i'll correct these two misspellings for the showcase. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - i like it. nice rhyming, and i like that you didn't insist on always rhyming! i'll put this in Section A now and get to leaving a poem comment and reading the second offering from you later. i've got a backlog of messages, and i've got a chore or two to do offline today also. bri ;)
