Somewhat Rhyming Poem On Weather Patterns For Writing Workshop

By Claire Stemmer



Well I'm so sorry

that all we ever talk about anymore

are the weather patterns.

Because I overheard you talking

about the snails and the birds and the boats

&Nobody knows culture the way you do.

I'm skipping over these used love lines

when you're beating down on the ocean tides

you let your hair become that boring brown

you swore you never would.

&we painted this scene for you, love

The moment you set your watch for this figment, for this future

"Oh i wanted to see you shake"

Quiver and quake

"Oh but it was so much better when the sun did sail"

Nobody does culture the way you do.

You told me dreams were cutthroat eyelids closed.

&since love is a created mindgame with no ending

You be careful, cause your eyes do tell

the story inside you which you refuse to sell

now everythings so in-motion

&we are such a blur

&you cant hold it steady

but you cant watch it drown

I knew this place was bad news

before I came to town.

Now you're mouthing the words to your favorite song

While I'm finished singing, I've been humming all along.

Weather Patterns.
