Melting

The snow is melting in the sun While strollers stroll and runners run. The thaw, it feels like, has begun But we can’t get too cozy. For way before the melting’s done And kids have had their snowball fun, The weather wheel just might be spun And things won’t look so rosy. In wintertime, we jump the gun And think that somehow we have won When it warms up, but it can stun; Tomorrow might be frozy!

"we can't get cozy" here either. The high tomorrow is going to be sixteen, the low eight degrees. Who knows what it will feel like with the windchill.

I have always admired people who try to grow things despite the weather! The late Frost is not so funny! Aloha! Rico

Very descriptive and appealing poem. Yes, sometimes we drag out the springy things too soon! Janice

Some of that white stuff did manage to melt today, but I'm afraid the runoff will freeze again overnight and cause more problems tomorrow. Another great write, Ilene.

Liked the poem. So true too. I especially like your “weather wheel” idea, sounds about right for our part of the country. John
