Hey there 🙂
The Global/National Poetry Writing Month site said:
“Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that starts from a regional phrase, particularly one to describe a weather phenomenon.”
I put my fingers to the keyboard and came up with:
The sky was going at it
Hammer and tongs:
New kittens and puppies
Bouncing everywhere –
Clouds cracked open.
An early gloaming
Rolled in
Turning the streets otherworldly.
The wind whipped up
Blowing poor Gail
From the post office into the sanctuary of the tearoom;
Where we three sat hugging mugs,
Our sympathy already brewed.
Anyone else suddenly craving a cuppa?!
As the NaPoWriMo site also says, I am now a third of the way through this challenge! I’m enjoying it so far, though the prompts are making me think hard sometimes.
I wonder what tomorrow will bring…?

Can imagine it raining Puppies and Kittens while the wind whipping folks off their feet.
Thank you for another great Poem.
