Just Jot It January # 30 – (Un) Finished

Daily Prompt – JusJoJan the 30th, 2020

***

Today’s prompt comes to us compliments of Lauren. Thank you, Lauren!

Your prompt for JusJoJan January 30th, 2020, is “finished.” Use the word “finished” any way you’d like. Enjoy!

***

This is a poem I wrote back in 2015.

I was using the rhymed couplets to show peace, and the capitalized middle words to show anger that that after all this time, there is still war. – unceasing and never finished. Also by using words of nature showing how it can be peaceful and lovely days at times, and violent stormy days, too.

blue sky with pink clouds shaped like a wishbone

UNFINISHED

Quietly, quietly drift the clouds

Far above Earth’s rowdy crowds

THUNDER

Parading stately across the sky

Painting paradise in our eye

CRASHES

Take a moment to gaze above

Fill your senses with peace and love

LIGHTNING

Imagine floating without a care

Our mortal souls are free up there

FLASHES

Beauty does our eyes behold

Orange, pink, and nature’s gold

WIND

Sunrise, sunset, and in between

Starry nights, a moonlit gleam

GNASHES

Dream along, embracing peace

Praying for all war to cease

ANGER

Pure air inhale, life’s true incense

Live and love your truth…intense…

LASHES

Haboob!

Haboob!

***

Here’s some photos of the Haboob we had here yesterday afternoon!

It was a wall of dirt barreling through the city, with very strong winds. Then it poured down rain.

The first three photos are from the local weather station, and shows the brown roiling dirt coming closer to the city.

Even my phone sounded an alert…Dust Storm Warning!

The last two are what I saw from our back door. The sky was all dirty, gritty brown. It lasted awhile. We do get these Haboobs every once in awhile here.

We were even mentioned on the national news!

Back Where I Come From – Day 26

Back Where I Come From – Day 26

https://mcclendonvilla.wordpress.com/2017/09/26/2017-september-challenge-back-where-i-come-from-day-26/

Thank you, Suzanne, for hosting this wonderful challenge! It’s been fun to answer the questions. 🙂

Question # 26

26. Does your hometown experience all four seasons? If not, which ones does it skip over?

My Answer:

We have all 4 seasons here.

Summer time feels like the longest one, as it is very hot.

Winter time gets cold, and we get snow, but it doesn’t last very long.

Spring time seems short, as we have a few nice days, then we are hot again. Early spring we usually have sand storms.

Fall days are great, but again, they don’t last long. We go from a few wonderful days, then it gets too cold.

To explain about the winter days here, some may think it’s strange. We have some below freezing days, but then the next day will be nice and warm. It’s like a roller coaster around here during the winter. It can snow one day, then the next will be bar-be-que outdoors weather.

The spring is the same kind of strange. We’ll have just right temperatures, then it will turn freezing again, sometimes in the same day. This will happen with the sand storms, too. One will blow through, then be nice again, withing a few hours.

Awhile back, our weather people announced we had won some kind of award for the hardest weather of anywhere to forecast.

Needless to say, the weather is a main topic of conversation people talk about everywhere here. 🙂

ONE LINER WEDNESDAY – DID I JUST HEAR THAT?

ONE LINER WEDNESDAY – DID I JUST HEAR THAT?

“The sun is being regurgitated.”

“The clouds will start to coagulate…”

“…wear your rain sufficient dressing…”

I’m lumping these one liners together, because they all came from television weather newscasters in the last couple of days. What they said really made us do a double-take, and ask, “Did I just hear that?” We had to laugh!

On viewing the eclipse, one national weather news person remarked, “The sun is being regurgitated.” This was after totality, and the sun became visible again.

Our local weather person, just ad-libbing during the weather report, said the following on two different days. “The clouds will start to coagulate together to bring us rain.” and “Make sure you wear your rain sufficient dressing today.”

Weathered wood.

I like the look of weathered wood. This is wood that has been out in the weather for a long time. It’s been through scorching heat waves, torrential rains, hail storms, and whatever else the weather throws at it. The wood can be old fence posts or slats, or barn siding, building pallets, or driftwood. It’s all weathered the weather.

There’s a certain look to weathered wood. It has turned a silvery gray, for the most part. It has aged, and aged well.

Lots of wooden projects can be done with this wood. People make all sorts of things, from whimsical photo frames, to beautiful furniture. I have a few pieces, myself. Our neighbor did a lot of wood projects. We have a couple of outdoor benches, and a nightstand table. I really like the nightstand table. It has a shelf underneath, and a table top. There is also a wood framed mirror that tilts. Thank you DB! 🙂

WEEKLY WEATHER – HAIL & SOCS

WEEKLY WEATHER – HAIL & SOCS 

Weekly Weather: Hail

This challenge is to post a weather related photo each week. There will be a prompt word. This week it is hail. Click the above link to find out how to join in! 🙂

***

These three photos are showing hail. We had a pretty big storm come through, which dumped a lot of hail on my daughter’s yard. It accumulated into piles, especially in the corners of the house and flower bed. It actually took a few days for it to melt off! At our house we didn’t get anything like this amount, maybe a few, and we don’t even live that far from each other. Weather is quirky sometimes. 🙂

This is also posted for the prompt word given to us for SOCS – Stream of Consciousness Saturday. The prompt word there is accumulate. Find out more about this weekly challenge by clicking the link below! 🙂

NABLOPOMO – # 12 – WHETHER THE WEATHER

NABLOPOMO – # 12 – WHETHER THE WEATHER

For today’s NaBloPoMo – # 12 post, I’m combining it with the dVerse Poets prompt from yesterday. They wanted us to write about what the weather was like at the time, wherever you were in the world. It is also for their ‘Open Link Night’, where we can post any poem we want. Check out the dVerse Poets blog here …:)

WHETHER THE WEATHER

Yesterday was blusty, gusty,

Today we hit the freeze.

Yesterday was windy, dusty…

Today a sunny breeze.

Cold or hot, you never know…

Autumn brings such a special tang…

A beautiful day, or a fall of snow…

We’ll roll with the Yin and the Yang.
