Compounded Interest

Weather,
being faithful to the season,
insinuated into the terminal,
canceling flights,
and dropping purses and back packs
until each of the various gates
resembled a campground
occupied by a den of some sort
though not necessarily cub scouts.
The bulk of women, dressed in jeans and slacks,
draped their legs over the arms of lounge seats,
adopting attitudes that forecasted
identical though polar opposite mindsets,
i.e. complacency and innocence.
Business types were the exception.
Wearing suits,
most of a length to accentuate modesty
by affording a hard, close look at it,
they crossed their legs carefully
and panted for comfort.

This was superbly done! You've described what what the airport is like when flights have been cancelled due to inclement weather.

This was so descriptive--I felt like I was there!---actually, I think I was!

A canceled flight is no fun...but twice?  I'm sorry.  You described the airport scene accurately...I've seen it that way a few times myself.  As always, I enjoy your poetry and would like to see you here more.
