It Happens...!

It seems obvious enough. The day
just wasn't paying attention. It wandered
off the calendar and then attempted to
fit itself in anywhere, in a bit of a panic
because it felt forlorn, lost and abandoned.
Trouble was, it inserted itself where it
clearly did not belong; wrong month
entirely. Oh, it was pleasant enough with
the sky that larkspur blue hosting a
full-blown sun event, but that was up
there. Down here this day distinguished
itself by a fiercely biting wind in an
already-ice-compromised atmosphere so
cold it was more than evident that the day
had blundered, its haphazard choice of
month bearing little relation to the severity
of the cold, the brittle atmosphere, the
raging wind whipping whatever was left
of November's foliage off shuddering trees.
The day before belonged where it was and
it had hosted rain, so much rain that there
were puddles everywhere. Except they were
no longer puddles but little rinks of ice
thanks to the errant day that didn't belong.
