Letter to Mother Nature
The Lady Should Explain Things...
Dear Mother Nature,
Ice but with heat,
Sun but with cold...
We cannot follow
what we've been sold.
*
Weather-patterned
and long-seasoned,
People want change
(you can think of the reasons).
*
But you do not do
what we expect of you
(a Sylvia Plath feeling there...)
Ach, du...
*
Records have been set.
Plans won't be met
(broken trees and rough snow...
what else will we get?)
*
So, no more surprises.
No more heavy disguises.
We know this is the deal
more than one realizes...
*
We love you dearly,
and quite clearly...
from You Know Who.
Yours Sincerely,
...
XOX
*

Yep! Ya never know what you're going to get. We had large tree branches come down in our yard a couple week ago after an ice storm and one hit one of our cars. I respect the mother of nature. Her wrath is unpredictable.
Nicely done and yeah, we want answers Ma Nature!
Fantastic, Kendall!!! Spot on and so well expressed 💕😊
This was so on point! You nailed it!
Exactly what a poets' coffee table should sound like when discussing the weather. Bravo!
Yep. Outa' the park. Well done, Kendall!
How can I say anything better than Dana. Well done
The pitcher steps on the mound, winds up, releases the curve ball, swing batter batter, swing <klonk> it's a home run. The crowd goes wild! Love it! Very well done!
