Sea breezes tracking Like coastal scouts Followed by Angry radar lines Brawling where they meet At the front Raging war of hot air Throwing spears Cannon fire In a volley of ire Run for cover Pour the wine Draw the blind Rainy season Arrives © Jilly's 2016

Pour the wine
Draw the blind.”
Made me wish for rain 🙂

There’s a riot going on! Great take on the epic battle between east and west. Only someone who lives on a peninsula will understand the dynamics that make for this show. Wonderful poem, Jilly! Pour one for me; I’m ducking for cover!

Here we are into the summer season so a little rain (but not much) is most welcomed ~
Love the nature response ~

We are just coming out of a rainy season. I’m glad the sun is here. Describing this as a battle was so very original. I truly liked this.

Oh that second stanza sets up the scene of the angry destructive summer tornadoes and storms that can be, are, the plague of the plaines now. Well done.

Not sure If I’d like to be around these battles in the skies…very interesting. We will get our share of crazy thunderstorms though. I admire your word choices like “coastal scouts” and “volley of ire”…
