The Eagle-eyed Weatherman

10 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

      Oh, Jennie. I can’t wait. It was such a raw day today and we have a week of cold (snowy?) weather ahead of us before it starts to warm up. Thanks for visiting our cold island today. I hope your weather is better. You’ve had some awful cold and snowy days if the TV weather reports are to be believed.

      Thank you, Thomas. That eagle was sitting at the top of a fir tree about 500 ft. from our house when I took his picture. I was lucky it turned out okay. He posed very quietly without wiggling around. I thought he deserved his thoughts to be put into rhyme. Thanks for reading.
