Whether the weather suit you,
or whether the weather suit me,
whatever the weather
we’ll weather the weather
together …
some blether and blather,
discuss, even fuss  –
will tomorrow
be windy or wild?
misty or mild?
warm or storm,
sweat, or shiver,
shorts or jumper …?
desires and dreams
but we’re spared the extremes
and provided with rain 
for the grain.

Loved your use of words Rhiannon. I think you just about summed up the I. P. perfectly.

Wonderful rhyme and rhythm in your poem Rhiannon. Am wondering whether the News holds back saying there will be hosepipe bans for as long as they can, knowing the minute they say water levels are terribly low it will rain every day for weeks and we will all be grumbling about that instead :0)

! Thank you. I couldn't believe it on Saturday evening when my husband quoted the temperature and rainfall expected the next day especially where we were travelling to , about 30 miles away, in mid-Wales. But so it was, and then warm and dry again since, but a pleasant wind! There, another 'weather conversation'! Rhiannon

Some deft word play on display here, Rhiannon. Definitely immaculate rhyme and rhythm. Almost musical.

A poem executed with great skill.
