Attempt To Rescue Spring
tall, proud emerald stems like the West Witch’s guards
ruby-throated hummingbirds click in a homespun garden
tornadic spin thrusts homes, hither and thither, like flying brooms
strange snow lingers like torn pieces of Glinda’s tatterdemalion gown
a tin can, scarecrow and stuffed lion attempt to rescue Spring
rain and no oil rust the landscape — no drought in sight
the poppy overpopulation causes this season to slumber
the cold claims the North and whizzes Southward.
dare we kill off Winter white?
