About the Weather (Spring Trending, ) is a short, easy listening, work from an Irish Poet, written in a blend of sonnet and quatrain form. It's the first of a series of four small poetry books that follow the seasons.
The poet allows the weather to generate memory to create the essence found in one's inner colour within the body of the day.
It's a subjective work: A crossover from dark to light that each year rings through spring's new hope as she teases life with her Easter promise.
The first poem is titled: January, and it kicks off the trending season in an short visual non rhyming sestet, as 'life gets set for new beginnings.' The last poem is titled: Easter Saturday (What Empathy Means to Me, ) it is a sonnet and its first line is: 'Today we rest on laurels made from palms.' The collection concludes with an epilogue which was inspired by Wallace Stevens, ' 'The Idea of Order at Key West.' and sums up the collection from the poets' perspective as 'she sings where day moon eavesdrops on a/ Evening sun and a sea shushes salmagundi sounds.'
