A Bleak Interlude

Cherry

Dark, bleak day –
drizzle and downpour,
nipping out-door,
raincoat, hood gripping,
soon soggy bag dripping,
… slipping  back before
all sopping –
dripping, slopping
puddles on the indoor floor,
mopping.

Curtains drawn,
shut out the sight
– it might
be bright
tomorrow …

Though this is generic, we did have such a day yesterday and today, when we had the opportunity for getting out for a walk, was bright and breezy, though the fields were naturally very soggy with lying water to negotiate … but maybe that can make another story …

Hi Rhiannon

Lovely onomotopeic words - however you spell it. It made me feel drippy and dull.

You summed the weather up perfectly once again Rhiannon. I must admit to enjoying this weather you describe, even for walking in, just find it cheers me up...you probably think I'm a bit strange saying that...ha...ha! smiley

By the way, congrats on the well deserved cherries.

Jenny.

Thanks, Jenny, well, yes, I think sometimes I do enjoy it, maybe more being out in it than watching the darkness from indoors, and probably when there are no other ties on one's time - but I like the sound of the sopping, dripping words too! Rhiannon

I love how the words twist and drip into one another. Such a vivid soggy picture. Made my shiver.

!! Hope you're cosy, too. Tina! I was thinking last night, what I miss also in those days is the far vision — if we're out, the glimpse of the hills, which are often all cut off by mist or cloud or rain - temporarily. Rhiannon

Delightful description, Rhiannon!

Such days make me even happier sitting in my armchair, my dog at my feet, and a fire crackling in the backgroundsmiley

(unfortunately, the dog has to go out every once in a whle...)

smiley I've just  found out how to put those on!
thanks, Terry. You certainly sound cosy, and a cosy hearth to return to when the door is shut again after the dog's brief outing! Rhiannon
