Forecast

A sheltered spot 
A glimpse of spring 
Deep in the Cornish valley
A sheltered spot-
Belied the hope.  

Yet overnight the frost 
Strikes sharp 
Though clear the day 
Weak the sun
Firm ground to walk 
The East wind dries
As forecast tells
Of storms and gales

The weathervane slows
And ambles round
The jet stream pattern
Sets the scene
Of change.
