  1. Signs of Weather

    Share Share Post
    Rain
    The rocks shinning
    The soot falling
    The lake black
    The cat turning his back to the fire
    The hens picking themselves
    The sky red in the morning
    The crows flying low
    The curlews screeching
    Fine
    The smoke going up straight
    A fog on the hollows
    The wild geese flying high
    The sun sink red
    Drought
    The sky bright and the sun very red
    Snow
    The wind from the North
