Curtis Johnson Poet Narrative

A Smily Spring Face

In my neck of the woods, 
Old Man Winter came with a bang
And stayed as long as she could,
Which fortunately was not very long.

She strutted across the delta, leaving
Enough ice to break trees and power
Lines.  After some 8 days and nights,
It warmed up, and we were fine. Thanks
Be to God and a little help from friends
Who loaned us a generator.  The silence
Disappeared but we were kept safe and warm.

I think that the bees, hornets, and wasps
Were confused about Nature's  way, and we
Were not amused by their annoying ways.
Someone needs to tell them, "It's too early".


Anyway, Spring has just arrived officially;
And I am very impressed with all the budding
That I see, especially the thriving peach tree.
The pear and pecan trees appear to be waving
To me.  I return a wave with a smily spring face.
The peach tree is no spring chicken, but she's
Alive and well, preparing us sweet summer fruit.
