The Eagle-eyed Weatherman

35 Comments

My eagle eye inspects the sky

To ferret out the chill,

And now I’m left to wonder why

The snow came down at will.

 

I know it’s colder in the heights,

And all the air was wet,

So pondering that, I knew by rights,

That snow was what we’d get.

I’ve fluffed my feathers up a tad

To keep the warmth inside,

I’ll check the depth of snow we’ve had,

And take a chilly glide.

I hope you’re hibernating, all

You creatures of the hills,

You must have known this snow could fall,

It’s testing all our wills.

 

But worry not, the rain will pour,

And wash the ice away,

Then soothing days will evermore,

Bring sunshine every day.

    A tough time of year for all animals and birds. They can’t wait for spring and easier hunting. Have a good Sunday Anneli. Allan

    Lovely photos Anneli, and as much as I’d like no snow, we could really use some on all the mountain tops. — Sonja

    That eagle must be proud to realize how he inspired you for this gorgeous poem, Anneli! He’ll let us know if spring is in sight. I’ve been doing so well this winter but finally got a cold two days ago. I’m getting better and better, though. Can’t wait for the sunshine.

      0h, yes. That eagle’s ego was insufferable. I’m sorry you got that cold. It has been really bad here for flu and colds this winter. But we’ll soon be finished with that misery, and happily singing in the sunshine.
