Turbulence

by CD Richards

Unrest rolls, like a storm, across the land;
an ill wind blows, and hearts are filled with fear.
Clouds, dark and menacing, obscure the sky;
the doomsdayers predict the end is near.

Yet, flooding rain one day gives way to sun,
and meanwhile serves to fill the thirsty stream.
This sad unweather, too, shall one day pass;
and dreamers, once again, feel free to dream.

Today's word: unweather (n.) bad weather; a storm or tempest.

My much-treasured Christmas present for 2017 is a book by Paul Anthony Jones: "The cabinet of linguistic curiosities". Each page contains a descriptive story about some obscure or archaic word. It occurred to me it would be a fun exercise to try and write, each day, a poem featuring the "word of the day" from the book.

Thanks for reading.
