- Out With the King - In With the Queen -

Looking for signs of spring, but can not find It is just white snow and frozen ice Cold feet, red cheeks, hat, gloves and wool socks I wrap me in, to protect me from the cold Dreaming of spring, sun that can warm my cheek Dear King winter, it's time for the Queen spring 30.01.2013 A-L Andresen :)

The Kings cold heart / Is softened by the Queen. The hammer of his iron fist / Becomes a velveteen. His icey heart is melted / By the one who holds his love. And joy is spread across the land / On wings of warming dove. Good write Anne Lise. Thanks for making me think. Rockman :-)

Successful succinct read Anne Lise. Will King winter and Queen spring have a child in for Norway a sizzling summer or an awsome autumn? By the way is it worth being a Premier Member? Best wishes from Peter. Peter Dorr 5/2/13

In St. Louis, Missouri we usually live in temperature swings. We easily swing 40 to 60 degrees in a day. The jet stream keeps moving North and South above us. If you don't like the weather... just wait a minute. It will change. Loved your poem.
