Drizzle and grey

was the focus of my mind and of today

i am not on form 

and forgive me for a four liner that ends this way

It was very warm again 

this time without a hint of rain

butterflies flit our way

surely to early in the season, i hear you say

all seems a little strange

but nature will unravel and surely change

We went to the lake with Ali and sizzles

a beautiful sunny morning, while this afternoon it drizzles

Pom-pom was strangely aggressive today 

leaving Ali and i to reverse and go the other way

a lone walker told us it was nothing to do with us

but the fact both our dogs were on leads, that caused the fuss?

We walked the lake with some old friends under the sun

Poppy, Pom-pom and Milou had a lovely long run

we have not seen the guys since the beginning of may

it was almost as hot as it was, a year ago on that day

Poppy and Pom-pom jumped into the lake to cool down

before we hopped into the car and back to town

I heard the piercing sound of a bird of prey

and looked for that bird through a sky of grey

we returned to our walk on furrowed muddy tracks

up to the black pig farm, before deciding to go back

just then it started to drizzle and rain

which had Milou and i take shelter along a leafy lane

It was wet and windy outside, with biting cold

we looked outside to assess, whether we should be that bold

after a doggy debate and a little talk

we decided on a swift and very short walk

In the sky, small black specks swarm like bees

small birds wind above the now bare trees

in the lac are a couple of coypu's swimming side by side

paddling effortlessly, in the water they glide
