Morning News Blues
By Patty L. Fletcher
listening to the morning news
gives me a dose of the daily blues
but I refuse to let it keep me down
I know one day this mess will be turned up side down
one day those who long for a day
when all will belong and “all are created equal” will mean just that
last night I had a dream
on waking I wanted to scream
must not give voice
remember it’s just a dream
however I know
if it should come true
those like me expect to be harassed
we know though more than ever will be taken this time
one day it will be set right
I call the forces of dark
I call the forces of light
I decree the balance will be set right
listening to the morning news
gives me a daily dose of the morning blues
must not allow the demons to win
must be strong
must stop it again

Strange Weather Anthology: True Quirks of Nature
Multiple Authors
No one can do anything about the weather, but we have captured it. Strange Weather Anthology: True Quirks of Nature is a collection of 15 true life stories from the 11 talented authors who lived through them, captured in vivid detail, in prose and verse. Some entries also include actual photographs.
Have you been through a hurricane…on a ship, seen balls of fire and strange flashes in the sky, dodged tornados while driving, seen a vivid or double rainbow or experienced strange rain patterns, unexpected torrential storms, different weather patterns at the same time, or woken to find myriads of giant snowballs everywhere?
Look inside for these awe-inspiring stories told from a personal perspective, including short autobiographies and where to find these remarkable authors.

February 10, 2025Hello, Robbie.
Thanks, so much for reading my poem.
Thanks, also for commenting to let me know your reaction.
Much-appreciated.
I have been looking through my poetry and it looks as though, I’ve got enough poetry now, for a small book and am considering it while I continue writing my series.
Working with you and others has inspired me.
I can only hope my editor can take what I write and make it presentable in its intended form.
Have a lovely day.
