First Edit: Weather Warning
#4
Hi Richard

Weather Warning

Those words remind me of snowflakes we've tasted-
(I think you could cut 'we've tasted' it's implied by
'lost on our tongues')
individuality lost on our tongues.
(I get the meaning, I think, but 'individuality' just
seems like too long a word, could the shorter
'uniqueness' or 'differences' work instead?)

Darkening sky could be your memory.
(Either 'A/This darkening...' or 'Darkening skies...' ?)
The storm begins quiet as tears
(Sonically, 'quiet as' is a bit slippery, do you need 'as'?)
hidden beneath a blanket too heavy for one;
(comma after 'blanket')
growing wind becomes louder than arguments
('growing wind' - hard to avoid a flatulence interpretation).
about whose turn it was to make the bed.
(like the domestic detail, likewise the 'joke')
Eventual whiteout a lonely climax, missing
('Eventual' is comparatively weak, do you need it?)
your joke about the polar bear in a blizzard.

Night returns silence, like it always does,
(Perhaps 'as' for 'like' to get rid of the hard 'k' ?
'like it always does' is pleasingly conversational,
but then the next line doesn't continue that tone).
yesterday a ghost vanquished by daylight.
(not sure about 'vanquished')

Best, Knot.
