11 of 12 given words:
grief distilled summer drew dusk awaycourteous, grace, guest escape light
distilled from the strangely hot summer
it drew lots of flax sweating on crucial days
what has got into the current spell
unpredictable and utterly confusing
from dawn to dusk it has been misty
the prospect of rain is probable
but shying away
it reflects courteous grace
but acting like a guest
who has exceeded a welcome
to escape unnoticed in fading light
strangely enough
it is conveniently explained as
global warming
the full impact is far off
nothing to worry about in the immediate
an assurance?
to think it is putting it off to the next generation
leadership is lacking
what a shame!

Nice. Very important message with the prompt words. I like the image of rain shying away, as well as a guest overstaying a welcome.
ReplyDeleteThis is NOT something to put off! Leadership has been certainly been lacking in the US!
Very beautifully put, its such an important thing for us to take control of. The future generations need us to get together and find better solutions for OUR future, I think we can get there we just gotta keep pushing! Thanks for writing this!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week ahead!
We've had much rain of late Hank..... far too much but it's likely to change I hope.
ReplyDeleteGreat verse your message came over very clear. We need to think long and hard.
Take care.
Yvonne.
Is it something we can control or does it happen naturally?
ReplyDeleteAt least here, like where Yvonne lives, we are not lacking for rain.
Leadership only cares about themselves and today, sadly.
ReplyDeleteWe have been aware of global warming for years but nothing is done as it would impact on our many investors and manufacturers profit taking if we did. We will never learn that it is not about us but the whole world's survival.
