Nature's Got a Grudge

I'll bet it's cause Mamma Nature just couldn't decide. I know we all have those days, but I'd like to know what you aim for.

it's bleak outside,
the clouds are hanging,
the sun shines tonight,
the winds are biting.

the colors seem faded,
the skies seem more gray,
but it's bright enough still,
it could be a spring day.

it's still cold winter,
the snow won't budge,
but rain keeps on falling,
nature's got a grudge.

there's pools in the sidewalks,
and ice rinks in the road,
the grasses look greener,
but suddenly they're brown bold.

winter or spring?
rain or ice?
wind or no?
a decision would be nice.

Author's Note

When I was walking home, the sun hid behind the clouds...and now it just broke out. u_u
Today's just not my day, I guess.

This is an excellent example of how everyday life can inspire poetry and writerliness. I can relate too - just today there was snow in some places on the ground, but it was warm enough for flip-flops. Good job with this. Nature is one of my favorite subjects.

Too true! It can look so warm outside, but then you step out and Bam! I like the words, natures got grudge. I think you culd get away with adding to this, or adding part two with such a great line to work with, it is a great poem. You write well about nature.

Mother Nature is the boss in the end. A excellent poem. Description and flow of words was very good.
