Gray clouds dominate
Moisture flows downwards slowly
Subduing our mood

This Morning
Greeted by grey skies
Whispers of rain on the wind
Noise of life: awake
This Evening
Nightfall has arrived
The end of this perfect day
Sunlight shifting to rain
Bicycles In The Rain
I spent many a day
Cycling in the rain
Seattle is my home,

That the rain’s allure
Has waned
With these achy joints

Seattle’s Dish
Oh teriyaki!
Your sweet, delightful flavor
So many choices
A Wretchedly Wet Day
This wretchedly wet day
Dankest dreariness
Spring’s misery
Exceeding the expectations
Of even Eeyor
Morning Rain
Roof rattles
Grinding force
Flowing earthwards
Each droplet unites
Living planet’s power
All consuming
A Rainy Monday Night
Rain gently falling
The night pushing forwards fast
My weary mind droops

An Afternoon In Seattle
In the afternoon
A warm cup of tea helps me
Make it through the gloom
