Elemental Anxiety

An update from the planet Terror:

Summer’s unpredictable, a case of another day

another personality.

Winter’s dark, complicated and an alcoholic.

Spring, well she’s dependable  if naïve and

Autumn’s a hopeless romantic but

he can only feel lust for spring.

Together with common fears such as

equatorial imbalance

cyclonic weakness

irregular solar activity

polar shifts

ozone variations

threats to the  optimum atmospheric gas mix

and lest we forget

the ensuing ennui of calm

all of these are worries but

for the seasons who have seen it all

who carry burdens 

and hopes of their own the general advice is

to just chill out and have a smoke.

spare a thought for the weather...
