We are in Gig Harbor, WA this week. While yesterday was sunny and mid 80's in Kalispell, it was cool and rainy here--until evening. About 8 p.m. the clouds parted and out came the sun in all its glory. This happens frequently in Kalispell also but, instead of being encouraging at the end of a dreary day, it feels more like teasing--here's what the day could have been like if the clouds weren't in the way, sucker. Thanks so much, Mother Nature! Yesterday I wrote this poem about it.
Ma Nature’s Raspberry
As they often do at
the close of day
the clouds decide to
go away
to display the
setting sun.
A parting glimpse of
what might have been
had they been so kind
as to let it in.
Too late for much
enjoyment.
If nature is a mother
who
must spoil the
outdoor things we do
she should seek new
employment,
instead of nightly
bidding—Pfffft!
