This poem was obviously not written about the current bitter Arctic weather, but rather last week’s morning walk in a mild rainy mist. There’s always weather, whether or not we choose to go out walking in it! (I’ll pass today, thank you very much!)
Best wishes for whatever year-end holidays you celebrate! And if you are so moved, how about hosting a Poetry Friday roundup in the new year? The call for hosts is here.
Irene has this week’s roundup at Live Your Poem. Good advice for us all.

Mary Lee, this is a beautiful poem for the current weather: “Sky canvas is saturated.” Shades of gray have been the usual weather. We are off to see Santa at his workshop with the grandgirls. The gray has lifted and the sun is out. What will the afternoon bring???

I love the “bip bop bips.” That’s exactly how it sounds…what a lovely capture of a walk in the rain.

A walk with rain-driven music sounds very nice about now, Mary Lee. Love your rhythm of that day, and that ending beat: “leak
streak
from sky
to street.” Happy Holidays to. you into the new year, too.

I’ll take your “Umbrella Arts” weather over our frigid temps any day. I like seeing those tiny bits of mountains off in the distance too, and what lovely
“syncopated
timpani
bip-bop-bips.”
thanks Mary Lee!
