Write Poems
In her book, A
Cloister Walk, Kathleen Norris explains a wonderful little writing
exercise: writing out your own emotional weather report inside, either your
own internal weather, or that of another individual. Have fun and write.

The Weather Report
Clear and Sunny
The world anew
For me and you
Mostly Sunny
No threat of storm
Voices low
Partly Sunny
While not a promise
I’ll take it
Cold with sunny intervals
Wrap your heart
In a sweater
Sunny, but cold
No need for
Umbrella
Breezy with some sun
Hang onto your
Heart so it won’t
Be blown all over
The mesa
Mostly sunny and cold
You will need
A jacket and
Shades
Cold with plenty of
sunshine
The cold will freeze
Your heart
The sunshine will
Thaw it
Partial sunshine
You look my way
And smile
Plenty of sunshine
I smile back
Sunny and milder
Warm in your arms
Whisper love songs
Abundant sunshine
You are mine
I am yours

Wonderful weather in your area of the world!
Love how you define each change of relational weather and make it all so personal and immediate,

I like your weather report, Annell.
Very Cool piece .
Cleverly written!
Beautiful and I agree with Denise very clever =)
this is a pretty cool exercise...
the wrap your heart in a sweater made me smile....
and did the very sweet end...
This is heartwarming and beautiful. If ever make it back out west, I'll follow your advice to "Hang onto your/Heart so it won’t/Be blown all over/The mesa".
