stationary front
A stationary front sits on us
Raining drizzle this morning
Like yesterday and the day before
Predicted to continue all day
And more of the same tomorrow
Invalidating the New England maxim
If you don't like the weather
Wait a minute and it will change
We are warm and dry inside
But we will go out to walk later
Determined to get our daily exercise
Despite the unpleasantness
You are camping in the wet and cold
Not far from Crawford Notch
Reminding me of being in a tent in the rain
At the base of Tuckerman's Ravine
We look out at a hummingbird
Fluttering to fling off the raindrops
Frequenting our feeders while it waits
Anxious to be on its way to the tropics
Reminding us we will soon follow
Making our seasonal peregrination
Going where the insect and flower eaters go
To the warmth of the subtropical winter
