Calypso Means Spring Is Here

Some say when daffodils shoot up Spring is here. It’s safe to put away your boots and shovels. Maybe somewhere but not where I live. I’ve seen daffodils on Monday peeking out of snow on Tuesday giving me a wink as if to say we fooled you, didn’t we. And I say yes you did! When it comes to Spring I know it’s here when I see what I saw this morning long before the dawn. The first moth happy and delirious dancing to calypso all around the porch light waiting for his friends to come and shout hurrah for Spring and Harry Belafonte. Donal Mahoney
