Jealous Winter
~ can you tell I'm ready for SPRING???! hehe ~
Jealous Winter
by Amy Swanson
Winter...
you come and go
like a child playing peek-a-boo
from behind Spring's shy curtain
Winter...
you are such a jealous child!
So grudging of the warmth and life of
your Spring sibling
you race to steal the show
each time your sister dares
to show her pretty face
and share her smiling warmth
gracing us with her gentle presence --
your ego too large
to take a back seat.
Enough, Winter!
You have had your day
Your turn is no more...
The curtain has closed on you
yet
you insist on coming back
for unwanted encores.
Oh Spring...
please come to shower us
with warmth and life and love...
and send your jealous sister
back to Mother!
