Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

A Whiff of Spring

A whiff of Spring’s
A lovely thing
And oh, such joy
It seems to bring!

A sunny bench
Helps to unclench
The stress and sadness
I can’t quench.

It will not last;
Tonight a blast
Of frigid air
Will come on fast.

But that small whiff
Reminds me if
I wait, there’ll soon
Be blooms to sniff.

Trevor Mcleod February 16, 2021 at 9:07 PM Hi Ilene. You must really live in the city if you recognize the bench as man's refuge. I concure. The feel of the sun on that bench has put me in the mood to go on...LOL Trevor
