Dreich December day One of suave skies - Car bonnets are Swathed in mist and Crisp with frost. Silence Reigns - but here are rooks Flapping and causing a Disturbance with their Harsh cries, black looks. Globules of big Rain begin to fall Glinting into the orange Stiff light striking Pale gable ends awkwardly And smoke rising From a nearby garden spreads A fuzz of blue haze Quivering in this Early air - December Day with rooks and crows.next poem
