When lightning strikes
And thunderclaps, feel
Mother
Nature’s angry wrath

EARLY MORN
Stepping into the garden,
The wet grass beneath
my feet
Everywhere fresh with
morning dew
The air honeysuckle
sweet
The dew drops
glistening,
The sunlight weakly
warming
It’s so good to be
alive
At the dawn of another
morning
MY FAVOURITE TIME OF DAY
It’s my favourite time of day
Is a special time, a
magical time
A time for romancing
lovers
For shared enjoyment
Or solitary reflection
A time to drink in the
vistas
Along with the
cocktails
My favourite time of
day
Boasts awe inspiring
displays
Whether over the open
sea,
Beyond distant
mountains,
Over prairie or
savannah,
Or painting barren
desert
Or colouring the icy
tundra
Illuminating a city
landscape
Whether it’s across
the river
Or behind the gas
works
It’s a special time, a
magical time
It’s my favourite time
of day
When the sun sets
DON’T LOOK UP
They appear morning
Noon and night
They swell and grow
Rise and fall
And dissolve and
shrink
They are sometimes
thick
Sometimes thin
They are sometimes
dense
Sometimes transparent
They move fast and
slow
They cross treetops
and fields
Lakes and seas
Homes and factories
Deserts and swamps
Tropical rainforests
And arctic tundra’s
They are beautiful and
familiar
Strange and dramatic
They are myriad in
form and shape
A face, a mountain, a
fish
They are brown and
gray
Steel blue and black
Yellow and gold
Lilac and pink
But mostly clouds are
white
AS THE STORM FRONT CLOSES IN
As the storm front closes in
The Gulls desert the cliff top
To find safe haven deep inland
And wait for the storm to stop
THE FISHING BOATS BOB AND DANCE
The fishing boats bob and dance
Driven by weather to the south
Making slow progress in the swell
As they approach the harbour mouth

CACOPHONIC CHORUS
As if to chase the night away
And herald the dawn’s arrival
Birds awaken bright as the day
With the cacophonic chorus
Before the sun comes into view
To turn the sky from black to blue
