Wind And Rain And Storm, fighting the elements
Have you ever been out in the wind and rain and
storm, if so you then know
how it feels. I think I wrote this poem
because we live in Texas, one of the
most rapidly weather changing states in
the country. The weather in the spring
is filled with tornadoes, late summer
through early December, hurricanes,
and the winter with tempatures ranging
from the low 80's to the teens and
all of that within one day.
Rain coming down at the rate of 6 to 8 inches
per hour, winds blowing 50 plus
mile per hour, hail the size of baseballs.
Snow in excess of a foot in the panhandle,
and rivers flooding our of
control.
How do the birds and other wildlife contend with
this kind of changing weather? Many of the birds play in it
while others shelter themselves in the
deep woods trying to keep warm and dry.
In any case I wrote this poem about the wonder
of Gods creations.
