Courtney Mae Or Courting May

Come now, Spring! You’re such a fickle young thing! On the wings of newborn feathers, your wiles up and downturn winds to sudden cold flings tripping warming skins to tremble a while… Next come your silken color-filled fancies! Eyes beckoned, step out to be near such charms… Yens still, as you march as perfumed dandy, masking musky breath, that breezes sneezed harm… And when April comes along, your eye gleams! Enchantment grows, then fades to slushy mush…. Becoming crystals, shatter in your steam Oh how she weeps, for diamonds rained to slush! Rivers gush your youth’s enthusiasm ~ Now, may you calm, ere you deepen chasms ~ (2/7/23)

And here we sit still awaiting her arrival...though to be honest, I believe she has arrived here already. I will know in a few days. We have Mesquite trees here and it is said that once the Mesquite buds out, there will be no more freezes and spring is here. I have a few on my property, still watching but I think it will happen this weekend. Hope she finds you soon Susan. Nice poem my friend.

Hi Chris! Thank you. Spring is battling winter here with blooms getting frozen and rained on... what kind of scent do mesquite flowers have? they are supposed to be wonder trees of the dry lands.. :)
