From now until midnight one week from today, comments on this post will be open, so you can leave a permalink to your blog post for this week’s contribution to poems related to the weather, or any other poem or poem-like writing you’d like to share this week.
Be sure to check back in the week for new links; some participants take a little longer to get going – for lots of reasons – and you’ll miss some gems if you’re only looking at the site early in the week.
Please, link back here in your posts, either with a hyperlink to Read Write Poem or by using the badge in your post. Sidebar links are great but it helps our “internet health” when you link in every post you contribute to the project. And please add “Read Write Poem” in your tags, if you don’t mind.
For the new folks: Please take a few moments to read the About pages, including our Copyrights page. If you have any questions about the project after reading through those pages, email us at info (at) readwritepoem (dot) org.

My link isn’t to a poem (as inspiring as Carolee’s prompt was) but to a reading I went to this past week (Li-Young Lee, lucky me) and thoughts around that experience.
Li-Young Lee and the dying breath.
this too, a kind of weather I hope, one that fits the prompt, I hope

This prompt inspired a little celebration of warmer weather…
After Winter’s Thousand Days
Thanks for the prompt. It inspired Weathering The Weather.
Treacherous Season

Brought back some nice memories while writing this poem

Today I posted an old poem about clouds, so it is weather really: http://craftygreenpoet.blogspot.com/2008/02/mother-of-pearl-clouds.html
I look forward to reading everyone elses!
and last week I posted a new poem about the lunar weather and the eclipse:

An oldie, but about the weather, yes. Beginning a poem.
I hope to be back writing more. For now, work isn’t letting me.
A little something about the weather. Enjoy.

A poem called “Rained Out” in which we express our frustrations with weather forecasts.

Sometimes my marriage surprises me and is just like the weather. That’s what happened on this day last fall.

This week, you gave me two prompts in one: weather and character. I’ve never gotten to see Helena (in A Midsummer Night’s Dream) played like a full-blooded woman, but I know people who have.
Fun with thunderstorms here.
A brief one; winter has been on my mind a lot lately.

This is a fantasy fable, more of a story than a poem, but not quite a story either.
The fable of Octavia’s harp
I got floored by a quote in the NY Times, and though there are some places you hate to go, sometimes you just have to…
EAT OR STAY WARM
Here’s something that came to me today:

And for those who are interested, I finally finished this poem in response to a meme to describe myself in 10 stanzas:

I am here. The weather is in “the eye.” A true story.

It’s funny how mine totally isn’t about weather.
Hurricanes

Here’s mine, for those who don’t check pingbacks: The claw.
This one isn’t a weather poem, but after reading deb’s post I decided to record “birds fly gaga in her head” because of all the alliteration. It’s an abecedarius.

Oops! That’s a link to a recording of the poem I already posted. Here’s a link to the abecedarius-

Something written eons ago. Simple but apropos.

Harsh weather! #3
Here’s mine, about the electrifying effect of the thunderstorm on the soul.
