Our winter poetry was inspired by the wild weather we

experienced around New Zealand over the holidays.

Howling winds guard the shimmering stars in the fierce night sky.

Dancing rain drips down daintily towards the soft spongy grass.

Dark black sky pushes angry rain from its perch.

Grey fog blinds the helpless humans and darkens the great skies.

Jagged yellow lightning claps as the rumbling thunder rears up out of the dark sky.
