Of Weather and School

Lachlan Chen, Year 9

If I were to describe a day at school I’d call it unexpected, unique and erratic A familiar experience to Melbourne weather

The forecast tells tall tales glorifying The patters of rain and gusts of wind Or a lucky day, clear sky at twenty-six

Mostly wrong, misleading information Always differing to reality Politics and weather, polls and forecasts – perhaps a familiarity?

Sometimes with violent and turning winds Or awful flooding downpour Worse still extreme heat, pollution, humidity

But when night falls, the day is lost in memory, for Under the umbrella or bunkering in bed and hidden at home Is familiar space, love, warmth and shelter
