London Weather Calling

Glass stem (Photo credit: @Doug88888)

“There’s a blizzard out there!”
gets attention
starts conversation

Weather talk
cuts class, glass
is unpromiscuous

Frosty faces lighten up
stiff mouths open up
eager to share

Weather stories
1940s memories
spin from atop bar stools

In moody climes
I succumb, bulldog-glum
to a glass of wine

On sunshine days
I skip to the yoga place
full of pizzazz

People chatter, natter
claiming
“It’s absolutely boiling darling!”

I sing

aware

they may think I’m bonkers
