Hopeful Trio

HOPEFUL TRIO the first hint of spring cannot be put into words no special color it is the song of the wind softly breezing warmth and hope hint of spring gentle breeze come from somewhere stings but warms your cheek the northern god is tired labored very hard this year there is no pity in his voice sister sun has weakened him with age he coughs and sputters round the neighborhood the first hint of spring subtle change of attitude breeze instead of wind

A charming write, Daver! A "Hopeful Trio", for sure. Taciturn winter, "coughs and sputters", he is no match for Spring's warmth and sunlight... the third is the winsome breeze? I'm in hopeful anticipation of the flowers...I keep seeing starving bumblebees.:( They are so lethargic, Daver. Best to you and yours! Love, Mikki

Hallelujah! The sun sister prevailed over the northern god. Love the idea of him coughing and sputtering out the last few snowflakes that had been clogging his windpipe. This looks like an entry for Constance's contest, but I know you don't do contests so I'll just put it in my faves. I am out of town until Wednesday, but wanted to say hi. I'm okay. Perpetrator got fired! Love you and your poetry, Carolyn
