The InkwellLike a flash in the pan
It appears from the clouds
Going quickly through the atmosphere
Heading for the ground
Thunder noisily telling you that
not that far away – buckets of water will be falling soon
Illuminating that message in brief bursts
Night skies lit up in a spectacular display – it’s
Going to get wet – very soon….
#Writephoto #Cascade
From out of the clouds they come
a torrent of aqueous creatures
lunging towards the destination they
long to be at, following each other
in a race to be the first in the
navy blue waters
going over the edge
#FOWC #Respite
How i wish the rain would give me a break
Even now, concentric circles are being created
In the wells and cracks of the tarmac outside
Garden’s might appreciate the water – but its not what i’d call
Hot, the rain is decidedly cold today
Hopes are, mother nature will provide a little respite
On which occasion – i won’t get drenched in the stairrods
Salford 3rd March
The engineers who design the roads
have really outdone themselves this time
in the middle of the road, the raindrops fall,
nestling in sunken tarmac pools – they look like a map of
great lakes….
“Weather”
5th February 2019
“Red skies at Night, Shepherds Delight…..“
This old phrase is still around today.
It was the shepherds way of telling fine weather – a red sky at night normally foretold of fine weather next morning
Whilst a red sky in the morning, normally was followed by grey clouds in the skies above. It gave the shepherd time to get his flock onto lower ground and avoid an immediate drenching 🙂
We’re not out of winter yet in the UK, no matter what the met office say, and I’ve known it snow in March, despite it being technically Spring.
The thought of it just being the
Evolution of evaporation
and condensation, doesn’t
ring true with me. Up there with the
Deity, helping create the mountains and
Rivers, the angels have heard their boss
On occasion when he’s hit his thumb with a hammer
Precipitation? Maybe if you are solely a geographer
Something tells me it’s the angels crying!

An acrostic by inky
Problems occur like the morning rain
Reality is, that’s what life has to throw at you
Each little problem, obstacle or challenge
Can topple you in an instant , however
In case you need them … there are
People who can help you,
In your hour of need
They’re there at a moments notice
An umbrella from the dropping rain
They’re your friends, pals, buddies
In sight, in rain or shine
On good days or bad
Never forgetting you and bringing a smile
#rain #clouds #weather #water
rivers of water fall from sky
clouds have had falling out again
droplets of water cling to glass
not wanting to drop into sewers
fighting gravity to stop imminent splashes
#stairrods #rain #weather #clouds
The heavens opened
Over the locals playing in the street
Raindrops coming down in
Rapid columns onto the ground
Each one falling quicker than the last
Navigating their way like a river
Towards the reservoirs via the drains and tunnels

Salford 16th June 2018
Inclement is how the weathermen would have put it
the weather itself couldn’t make its mind up
the sun was out – the birds were tweeting – and everyone was content
that was of course till two sets of clouds collided into one another
and slowly, but surely, small waterdrops began to fall from the sky
pitter pattering into puddles – easily covered by peoples umbrellas
until the raindrops sped up – and turned into stairrods
filling up birdbaths and heading for waterways
the quickest way they could
ladies and gents diving for cover under the nearest shelter
till quick as it arrived – the stairrods departed
and cotton-wool clouds replaced the grey ones
while birds enjoyed the relax
in a pool provided by the cloud
