Careful Observation Required

careful observation required

Spring belied its name
used to jump out 
around the side of my cottage
with yellow crocuses, 
made by sun for sure,
and white snow drops
their drooping blooms
peek from leafy blankets.
this year I caught it. 
its very beginning
slowed by arctic lips
blowing cold kisses
whistling up frigid winds.

This time I saw it unfold at a pace I could follow. You are super calla.
