Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Melting

The snow is melting in the sun
While strollers stroll and runners run.
The thaw, it feels like, has begun
But we can’t get too cozy.

For way before the melting’s done
And kids have had their snowball fun,
The weather wheel just might be spun
And things won’t look so rosy.

In wintertime, we jump the gun
And think that somehow we have won
When it warms up, but it can stun;
Tomorrow might be frozy!

Janice Canerdy February 5, 2021 at 7:15 AM Very descriptive and appealing poem. Yes, sometimes we drag out the springy things too soon! Janice

Robert Pettit February 4, 2021 at 1:01 PM Some of that white stuff did manage to melt today, but I'm afraid the runoff will freeze again overnight and cause more problems tomorrow. Another great write, Ilene.

J. Summers February 4, 2021 at 12:57 PM Liked the poem. So true too. I especially like your “weather wheel” idea, sounds about right for our part of the country. John
