Spring

I waited... I surmised
I know I agonized
Of course... I never realized
Springtime was disguised

I pondered... I personalized
I know I criticized
Of course... I never recognized
Spring had improvised

I questioned... I vocalized
I know I dramatized
Of course... I verbalized
Spring had not arrived

I charted... I analyzed
I know I hypothesized
Of course... I never was more surprised
A third Nor'easter materialized

I remember... I fantasized
I know I rationalized
Of course... I never romanticized
That spring would be winterized

Another contest I seem to have forgotten about. WEll done, Susan. Maybe I entered this one too. I can barely keep up with comments these days let alone the contests. It is so difficult. How do people find the time??
