Ambrose Bierce (24 June 1842 - 26 December 1913 / Horse Cave Creek, Ohio)

What a fair weather poem, cloudy with a chance of brilliance.
Great, great write! Is it safe to set sail today?

Help Claudia, the dark one keeps deleting the end of my comment, posting separately again. The deletion of Claudia’s comment raises the question, do readers have the right to comment regardless of whether they like a poem or not? And whether other readers agree or disagree? My weather forecast on this one is most reader want to see both honest positive and negative comments on quality, because it makes reading comments more interesting. Any bets on how this comment weather’s the storm?

I like the line 'Once I dipt into the future far as human eye could see, ' in the first line of the poem contrasted with the ending everlasting glow: ' of 'Cloudy; variable winds, with local showers; cooler; snow.' Global warming and rising sea levels seems to have put the lie to this weather report also. Reminds me of the joke about the weather forecaster who had to move because the weather did not agree with him.
Interesting that Claudia Krizay pointed out that the critic running this site is also disagreeable. I would have been interested in your original comment Claudia. My father taught me to weigh pros and cons of arguments and think before arguing, thus I shall weigh out of this one without an opinion on the actual quality of the poem, another sad cop out; nice ab end rhyme scheme though.

Haha! ! ! Carlos...I laughed...most definitely!

Ron Burgundy! Will Ferrell's voice reading this poem and if you don't laugh...

Eternally unchanging weather report or forecast it is! For, Nature preserves past in present to future! This is true more now than before!

Compared to most writes of classics, i must be missing something as to me this is merely mediocre...the one ingratiating feature is the mention of asbestos slab which pulled a little to humour or environmental issues, i am a tad slow sometimes so may be missing the obviously fabulous.... sorry ambrose

All our future is actually like weather!

The ones who run this site deleted it. Interesting but even Jesus never raised Cain, just Lazarus.

It seems as if my comment was deleted-We, , I wonder why! Probably because it was negative and critical- in my opinion comments should not be deleted unless they are praising and say good things about a poem- no on is perfect and I believe that negative comments should be heard as well as the positive ones-i used no profanity in my comment- basically all I wanted to specify was that didn't think it was a very good poem- if you delet this comment I will go to the authorities of this site and raise cain -
