Those neighborhood boys, at the playground, were ready for us two girls. Did they already have a stack of snowballs, to deter those of the female persuasion? Our second attempt, though brazen, yielded no opportunity to play. Winter and its metaphoric forget-me-not blooms are in a playful mood.
Snowballs in Summer, ballsy blooming.
Lovely the limelight hydrangea cheer.
Buds’ll be diminished, as freeze be looming.
Leading edge Winter wear will disappear.
But for now, the gorgeous bloom display
upticks my heart. I wave. The flower puffs.
Along sidewalk in bridal shade bouquet
before the cluster water vessel rebuffs.
Thrown, those snowballs into sight of mine.
Attention to draw; does anyone else lean
into the bushes between the church & spine
of current neighborhood, this brumal scene?
