Just a mist,
Barely wetting things,
Too warm for a December,
Feels slightly like spring,
Just a mist.

Black piles of snow remember
It was a few days ago
When the sky was filled with snow,
With cold shivers of winter,
I felt like going shopping,
Driving in it mall hopping,
Then it fell like December.

Drenching rains
Melt the last of snows
Pooling in the clogged gutters,
Nowhere left to go,
Drenching rains.

The walkways become rivers,
Floods fly from cars in passing
Push pools to waves of splashing
Snow chilled is the street water,
Wet shivers from the drenching,
In muted tones of cursing
Onward still goes the walker.

The cars go
Wipers slapping time
To songs of late December,
Light thoughts on the mind
The cars go.

Gloom

The cars go...

our December is
too warm...
Octoberish...
Christmas is months away,
isn't it?

Thank you Professor...

like this Gloom...captures the mood as well as the climate..with thoughts or hints of deeper thought throughout.

This is cool stuff Prof.  That hint of winter that drops ...and leaves you looking for the signs of the season.  Kind of teased there for day or so huh?

You captured the decaf drifts of West Texas also.  Nice work~

Gloom - I like this!! But, I don't like the December rains if and when we get them. Everything looks so dirty and sad. What an enjoyable poem this was to read. Chris

Prof. I missed this one before, but glad I caught this time around.
I love the descriptive way you wrote this. Even though the sun's shining here in Florida, it seemed I could almost hear the rain.......
