North Idaho Weather Report

Post Reply New Topic

The shadows of lantern light through the evening trees,
still lightly shine,

the shallow foot prints left in the snow from my recent passing,
barely show with the deepening snows,

the afternoon slush on the roads,
turns to slick ice in the morning lulls,

the winter seems never ending,
when you think its over,
it seems to be just beginning.

the flowers fall planting,
seem to know its going to be a long winter,
they have yet to poke their heads
above the snows of late spring.

this winters life seems to be a long and drawn out one.

even the local crows are foraging hard for something to eat.

This is in the wrong forum...

the snows are about gone,
the buds on the trees are starting to swell,
the permafrost under the ground is starting to give way,
and the birds are returning to the breeze
with the sounds of singing in the tree's,
the air is starting to give rise to a
warmth a simple sweater would suffice.
children are starting to go play out side.
the winter that seemed to last forever
is now giving way to a new spring arriving.

this thread rules, i like it very much. what was that? freelance? poetry? what?

call it what you will, its just a weather report

right now the flowers are in bloom,
we can hardly keep the children at home,
people are in their yards pulling weeds
and planting what they hope will bloom,
the sun is warming the heart and the homes,
the tree's are giving their leaves a new home,
the grass's are starting to grow tall,
and the deer are grazing the meadows once more,
the prairie dogs and gophers are digging away
as we watch the gardeners try and chase them away,
the morning frost's are hardly seen any more,
as the morning dews bring a sparkle to the dawns on the flowers blooms.

That`s really cool, i like it!

people are coming out more and more to play,
leaving litter in most all the places you think would bring a smile to your day,
the leaves on the trees and shrubs
are about full in size to collect the suns starry gaze,
as the aphids come out to enjoy the fresh growth,
and the ants come out to snack a random aphid from its perch,
the sounds of lawn mowers rattle the afternoon air,
drowning out the sounds of the birds as they try to sing their song of love on the wing,
misquotes dance more and more in the air
as our body's start to sweat from the suns heated stare,
the blankets are starting to rob us of our rest
as the nights turn into a sweaty fest.
