The prompt this week was a story or poem in which the weather played a key role. I wanted to play on It was a dark and stormy night but in a way that wasn’t spooky. How do you think I did? Let me know in the comments!

Wind whips, howling high
Branches tremble, leaves fly 
Caught in downdrafts
Plastered to the ground by
Buckets of rain
Once cleansing
Now drowning

Those wise take shelter 
Enjoying the warmth 
Of a fire, of a cup of tea
A day that was meant 
Meant to be busy 
Now free of 
Responsibility

Now a day to relax
A chance to browse 
The To-Be-Reads
Finding that perfect 
Vibe fitting book
A chance to curl up 

Warm beneath 
A favorite blanket
To take a load off 
A chance to relax

This is a bit of cowboy poetry that I grew up listening to. When I heard this prompt it was what I first bit of inspiration that I thought of.

Texas born, I grew up hunting and fishing. Now I love travel and cooking, a good beer and a great story. People are their stories and I hope to share mine. I have a ridiculously adorable canine companion named Bear, a supportive family, and a wonderful husband.
