Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Early Spring

Ninety days till springtime
No more silly hats and mitts
Can't wait till robin red breast
Sings its happy springtime hit

It's by far the sweetest season
When that feeling is attained
You wake up each day singing
That happy spring refrain

Could there be a greater feeling
Away with that big red nose
You feel the warmth all over
Right down to your very toes

It's how one gets through winter
The promise of days ahead
Thrilled with the sight of crocuses
No winter storms to dread

You may say I'm a wee bit early
With my ode to springtime fun
But ninety days goes by quickly
Can almost feel that April sun

So hang on just a wee bit longer
It'll be here before you know it
Probably think I'm a daft old man
Or just a silly old poet!

Toquyen Harrell January 20, 2013 at 12:11 PM Yes, we sure live with that thought -that it will be over soon. My favorite season is summer. I can live in a tropical place any time. Love that sun and everything goes with it. Enjoyed, Jack! Jack Ellison January 20, 2013 at 1:31 PM "I can live in a tropical place any time"... oh me too! Spend many many vacations in Florida... love the sun and the 80-90 degree temps!

Russell Sivey January 20, 2013 at 7:45 AM You are certainly not a silly old poet, you are really a brilliant man my friend! You can come up with these poems with the best of them (poets)! Wow, and this one is a tremendous write Jack, a dynamic poem of wanting Spring to come...I'm one of the few that likes the colder weather (not the snow), and don't like the Spring...it brings the Heat of the Summer! My favorite time of the year is Autumn! The start of the cold air! I'm not a fan of sub zero weather, just cooler air! Masterful Work!! Jack Ellison January 20, 2013 at 8:02 AM Whereabouts do you live? We're having not too bad a winter so far, but this is Canada and it's only a matter of time! 77 years suffering through these deadly winters is more than enough... I think I deserve a medal!

Mandy Tams The Golden Girl January 20, 2013 at 5:35 AM I share that dream Jack, can't wait for spring, the snowdrops have just put their heads up but are now covered in thick snow xx Jack Ellison January 20, 2013 at 6:02 AM Been noticing you guys are having an unusually cold and snowy time of it! Know all about the stuff here in Canada! Take heart, spring is not far away... hugs, Jack
