An Early Spring On the Coast

Back east its snowing, 
there's blizzards galore.
Here on the west coast 
we count our daffodils and more.

Its sunny, its bright,
Spring blooms all around.
While back in the east 
a winter wonderland is found.

We are blessed on the coast,
Canada's banana belt
and we hope for your sakes
the ice will soon melt.

We see the carnage
that winter has brought
to our eastern neighbours 
and we sympathize a lot.

But we can't help but gloat,
though its wrong we know,
as we bask in the sunshine
while you get, yet more snow.

As refreshing as a spring rain with its promise of renewal. The story like quality brings a friendly feeling to the reader and we can almost see spring sprout in the distance. Emile. #7

hahaha. I like this. Utah makes me gloat a bit too. It was warmest winter on record I believe. I absolutely loved it.

Living in Florida, I always wonder if I'm missing the beauty of the seasons. Then I see what winter can bring, and I change my mind! I hope you're enjoying your early spring...hugs, Rhonda
