This winter

This omnipresent winter – like a marauding street gang has muscled in on spring’s territory and has now got its beady eye on summer’s patch.

This unforgiving winter – like a militia of pillaging rebels has swarmed in upon our land sending in a barrage of blizzards and strong spurts of snow storms leaving innocent civilians shaking and sneezing with snivelling colds and spluttering coughs, the relief mission has been extremely costly as lemons, honey and ginger fly off the shelves and heating bills are sky high.

This unrelenting winter – like an international cooperation has launched a major takeover of the whole business of autumn and has sold off all of its shares and bulldozed its property.
  

This unapologetic winter – like an autocratic dictator has made an enemy of those that it claims to serve and appears not to be letting up in its over lording onslaught. What allies do we have? What weapons can be used in counteraction? Do we have a choice?

This tempestuous winter – like a savage beast has ravaged through our towns and cities; feasting on fingers, toes, ears and noses until it is satisfied with its supper. There is a predicted change of climate on the horizon, followed by thunderstorms. Time will only tell.
