Storm Henk has swept in
Uninvited
Rains pouring down
Lashing on faces
The wind is swirling
Round and round
Whistling and whooshing
Making a deafening sound
Ground sodden with lagoons of water
It’s nowhere to go
I suppose we are perhaps grateful
It’s not falling as snow
2024 has unleashed
its first wild beast
Pounding down upon us
Why can’t this rain cease?
Water pours off the sodden land
Like a relentless rollercoaster
No sign of it stopping
Fast and furious like a stolen motor
Spring feels like
A lifetime away
When maybe, just maybe
Days won’t be so grey!
