Drizzle, soaking thirsty ground,
gradually drenched;
view obscured
by net of muslin mizzle:
shower shrouds.

Perfect little observation.

Thank you. It is satisfying to sometimes capture a thought concisely, and find some suitable alliterativeness! Rhiannon

Your lovely poem suits the great photos so well Rhiannon.

Thank you, Jenny. We had some lovely weather on the houseparty we went to, but on the way, we had drizzle, and this started shaping in my mind. Then later I thought a pity I hadn't taken a photo, to have a 'before and after', and when we did have another short time of drizzle, I was able to take the photo! Rhiannon

Nice words Rhiannon.

Oh for a drop of drizzle here now. We had a huge thunderstorm with torrential rain a couple of nights ago but by mid morning the next day the ground was back to its usual concrete state.

Yes, we had very hot weather a while ago, but it has been mixed since then. 

I was remembering my father's frustration trying to make his mother-in-law happy on the beach when she joined us on holiday. She wasn't used to it and was constantly too hot/cold/drafty I think and in the end he said he thought her favourite weather was drizzle (she lived up the side of a Welsh valleys moutain), I think she agreed!

Poor your father. It's good that it was her favourite weather because they seem to get an awful lot of drizzle in those Welsh places. 

We're going to Ireland in a couple of weeks. I expect they'll have some for us over there.

Thank you, Paul. It gave pleasure the words coming together like this, seemed descriptive of the scene. Rhiannon

I love this one :0) I don't know how you do it, find the essence of a place, or a kind of weather, in just a few words. But somehow you do, over and over again, and make each poem so beautiful and true and fresh

Oh, thank you. This bubbled up when seeing this drizzle like a net over the view. I kept thinking it ought to be part of something longer, but then realised no, it would have to be kept on its own! Rhiannon

Very romantic Rhiannon! & Nolan

Thank you for reading and commenting. I've never thought of drizzle as romanitc, but I suppose it does have a sense of mystery, as you can see, but not clearly! regards, Rhiannon

The romance is in staying warm &&
