A WEATHER WARNING BY FIONA CUMMINGS



BY FIONA CUMMINGS

The wild winds wipe through our land

Whaling worrying wars not planned

Thrashing through like thunderous storms

Trashing terrifying those who morn

Losing loved ones nature has dealt with 

Playing us as if we are a pawn

Wistful fields with dancing corn

Leaves falling

Mercy calling

 And lines, torn

Crazy crime of a washing day

When weather is like it is today

  Snapped pegs and someone’s clothes

Who’s? No one knows

A gap where there once was a fence

Laying there showing innocence

Rugged rough cement

With broken wood which once did protect

Has this weather got no respect?

Bird’s wings blow

Flapping fast but flying slow

Wrong direction

Such restriction

Sparrow talks, says yes

Wings say no

Looking for any kind of shelter

Ups and downs like a roller coaster

Far away can’t get any closer

It’s in reach

 A lesson to teach

Pupils to learn

Bitter books watching paper burn

Clouds clamber before taking a turn

Trees bend

And brown is the fern

Willows whip

A wicked trip

Move on now

But why and how?

Go elsewhere

Without a care

Destroy

Employ

A new army

Blades so barmy

Its pure madness

What a mess

It’s left behind

To treat this earth so unkind

Who decides?

Who goes on this ride?

A flight of fright

With all it’s might

It’s calm now

We can sleep tonight

Tomorrow is a brand new day

To repair and find

What’s blown away?
