POEM STARTER
Write a poem that could be titled ‘Cloudy’.
Whether you stick with weather imagery, or explore emotive ideas, try and keep this title in mind as you write.
Cloudy
Why is it
that every morning when the radio comes on
it’s the weather?
And why does
the forecast always predict cloudy skies
with a chance of rain?
Why can’t I
just tune in when a catchy song comes on
Lady Gaga perhaps?
There’s nothing
more depressing than the weatherman
saying cloudy
Why can’t they
say cloudy with a chance of sun
instead of rain?
Why are clouds
enough to trigger a bleak outlook
for the rest of the day?
Or maybe
it isn’t the clouds, but simply my head
that is cloudy.
It could be
that I can’t take any more hovering balls
of rain today.
Going home
I put the radio on and again, here it goes
‘Cloudy with a chance of rain’
