Greeting, Not Greeting - a poem

[Angela]

Not my own work - I found this little poem in the Herald recently and liked it.

To wake to the reassurance of grey stone streets
under a clouded, adequate Edinburgh sky,
finding one has the right change in one's pocket
for once: and for once there seems no cause to cry...
It is unnecessary to fly on a rocket.
Here is a day which one greets, not greeting.

Considering todays weather in Edinburgh, I thought this was a very apt poem Angela, many thanks, reading it caused the first chink of cheerfulness to appear on an otherwise dreich Auld Reekie day

And it was so beautiful in Caithness yesterday.
