As We Wait

Rain
        Comes from
      The gray skies
   Melting more snow
    One day at a time
      Winter retreats
         As we wait
            To see
            Spring

You are waiting, and it will be 79 degrees here in KC today. Sorry about that, but so glad for me. Rain often brings spring for sure.

Yes, the rain and warmer temperatures today are melting more of the snow still here. 79 degrees where you are sounds very nice. Thank you Caren :)

I like that image conveyed by your phrase, 'Winter retreats.' That's usually how it works, kind of like a man's hairline recedes. (---although not mine, as I am forever in the Springtime of my years. LOL.) Nicely done, Heidi. ~ Gershon

Yes, it has been holding on. More rain again today to wash away some more. I hope Spring arrives soon too :)

Heidi, nice ninette, it is the same here, slowly the snow is melting, it is raining today and that will help wash away more of that dirty snow ~
