Most stories I remember
hearing as a child
began with the weather.
It was
      a cool, foggy morning.
      a snowy night.
      a hot summer afternoon.

My elementary school
teachers used to say
it set the mood-
gave you a sense
of what to expect-
because in the universe
of children's tales
only sad things
happen on dreary days
and lovers must
have a sunset
to ride off into.
NaPoWriMo, Poem #23

If only life was as simple as a children's storybook. 

Also, I suck hella hard at titles. :lol:
