I Am Ready For Some Violets
I am ready for some violets, the sun,
Dewdrops, wet grass, tulips, and daffodils
Marigolds, geraniums and warm, sultry weather.
My socks are cold and wet, soggy even.
I slipped on the ice twice yesterday.
My grandchildren live in this tundra.
We can make igloos out of what winter is delivering.
What about moving south? Sure, where none of my grandchildren are.
Or are ever going to be living. No thanks.
I will wait until the violets and the chrysanthemums are ready.
In their own time, delighting me greatly when they arrive at last.
Delighting in the grass, springing back into pretty greenness.
