December
It was sunny for a while
In Newcastle Emlyn
Then the rain returned
Sleet, hail, rain - a regular ice storm
And the day was suddenly
Dark. And white.
The river is full, the Teifi,
Winding its way first this way then that way
About the town,
Fuller than before,
Another drop and it will
Be all over the place,
All over the shop
, hotel, farmyard, field
Literally. Figuratively.
Actually. A riverful of water.[13.12.2011; revised 14.12.2011]
