Promises of Spring

Pit pat pit pat Zoom slosh and soggy felt Runny nose, midday doze Aching knees steaming tea Crackling logs, evening fogs All promises of Spring

Douglas, I don't mind the promises. . Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT

Thank you, these are about 25 years old. I started writing for my kids and when they grew up I stopped. Thinking of starting again though. Unfortunately I have no idea what style they might be.
