Boots And Brollies Poem by Ernestine Northover
Boots And Brollies
Drumbeat rhythm, on the rooftops,
Hear the vibrations of the raindrops,
Hailstones pelting, high-voltage flash,
Puddles forming, high winds thrash.
Boots and brollies are needed when,
Rain’s been forecast by the Weathermen.
Thus keeping us all from getting wet,
When the squall becomes a threat.
Rhythmic tapping, at the windowpanes,
Water gushing hastily, down the drains,
Tempest pounding as thunder roars,
Lashing out as it downward pours.
Boots and brollies are needed too,
To keep us dry, the whole storm through,
Then suddenly, as if the Lord was nigh,
Comes a clear blue, cloudless sky.

Ernestine, I don't have too far to see this poem coming to life, just looking out my window does it for me. They call this summer? Beautiful descriptive poem here. Top marks from me, they might be a bit soggy. You will still get them though. Thanks for sharing ths my friend. David
Will this rain ever end? A well written observation of our weather, I am looking forward to the cloudless sky bit, best wishes Lynda xx
What an appropriate write for it seems to have rained for two weeks, at least every time I go to watch a Wimbledon match it starts to pour...so much so that it will go into a third week with mens semi finals sceduled for Sat.7/7....the am of which my son, the ex and his other son land at Heathrow.....Now they can get to see Wimbledon live, a once in lifetime treat for most of us here....I love your poems! ! ! marci.xo [stay safe! ! ]
