Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Counting Down

playfully up close and personal
tingling joyfully on my skin today
warm and toasty the frisky sun
behind me wintry months of frost

no matter what claims my calendar
unofficially it’s the first day of spring
with gleeful sounds of melting snow 
melodious and enchanting to my ears

how disappointing to see the sun
toward cooled horizons slowing sink
dampening any delusion of hope
for a premature springtime kickoff

Mick Talbot February 17, 2018 at 1:48 AM Spring started in my garden late December, hazel started blooming and is now at its peak. bluebells are showing flower buds, lilac green buds, but thankfully the privet hedge is still holding back. A lot going on. Regardless, loved your poem Line... Mick Line Gauthier February 17, 2018 at 7:33 AM O Mick, I am coming to visit! Loved your comment.

Kim Rodrigues February 16, 2018 at 7:11 PM And hope will take the unofficial day of Spring :) Line Gauthier February 16, 2018 at 9:39 PM Thanks for your visit, Kim. We'll take all the sun we can get.

Silent One February 16, 2018 at 5:09 PM Yes Spring is 4 weeks away, but due to climate change, it actually starts a lot later now.. with plant life and wildlife suffering.. how sad.. Line Gauthier February 16, 2018 at 5:17 PM Dreadful impact of global warming on animals indeed. Winters are not what they used to be and it's an abomination how the innocent are paying the price. Thanks for your visit and comment, SO. Line Gauthier February 16, 2018 at 5:17 PM Dreadful impact of global warming on animals indeed.
