Breath
of fresh air.
I
want a walk
to
breathe in fresh air
days
after day
grey
skies dominate
watching
from inside
rain
follows storm.
Crossing
the field
soaking
my boots
to
stand by the confluence
in
ankle deep oak leaves
soggy
brown dead forms
of
a season that's passed.
The
rivers run caramel
smooth
brown so full
creating
energy
rolling
then splashing
flowing
further, journeying
over
then over, over and over.
Bushes
hang lowly
dripping
pathetically
raindrops falling again
bedraggled
wet.
I
scurry home
to
a dry cosy house.
I
went out for a breath of fresh air.

You make even this sound beautiful. I wouldn't mind being there -- albeit briefly.
Mitch Block:The places I get my ideas are lovely and in Cornwall but the weather is always unpredictable!
The best thing about a walk in the rain is getting home and curling up in the warm with a nice cup of tea :-)
CherryPie: It is all makes one of life's simple pleasures.
very atmospheric poem, very Scottish almost in its mood and weather! (Though at the moment here its blue skies and high winds)
Our rivers are running caramel as well just now, with a sort of frothy cappuccino effect as they fire over the rocks. Its all very impressive but by damn its cold! So far the winds are avoiding the islands but I sense they are approaching. Its a lovely time of year if you are well wrapped up.
Crafty Green Poet: Thank you for comments. It is good to know that what I am trying to say is working.
Doris: It has rained and rained and blown and blown through the night and has just stopped raining about 1/2 hour ago but it is still blowing hard glad I am not at sea.
Great site. If you liked the current post on my site, see the one later this afternoon, my time, which talks about the Redpoll exclusively. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Ohhh...I love this poem!! You've captured the walk so well.
Gary: Great to welcome you here. I have such a lot to learn so I'll be over to see about red polls.
Kelly: Thanks. I hope my writing takes you with me!
Thought I'd say hi. What a lovely poem. The streams and rivers are certainly running caramel here in the Loire!
Niall & amp;Antoinette: Hey great to welcome you here. Glad you liked this poem.
that COULD have been my day!
lovely
John Gray: So glad you liked it. In the UK I feel it is important to embrace the weather whatever it is!
A climate so different from ours and you describe it so vividly. Thanks.
Elisabeth: Sometimes I do not enjoy our climate! Thanks for your comment.
Happy New Year

Yvonne: Good to see you drop by.Happy New Year to you.
A lovely capture of your walk. I can pictue it all in my mind. Running home for a hot cup of tea is nice too. Have a great day and thanks for the visit.
