Spring is Cold

Spring is cold in its cool pastel colors. Today, Winter’s a fool to tread so late past its season. Its gait freezes flowers. Spring’s upset with the winterly arrogate. Depression will not take hold - the sun’s out. Reminders that March has a lion’s bite. Pinks, whites and yellows - Spring without a doubt is tipping his hat, new leaf growth’s forthright. March does not pack away its clothes, not yet. One day a gal wears shorts, and her sleeves, short. She has her fur-lined coat close by, you bet, and will wait for mid-Spring soak to retort. Brr and brr-ing her sandals back, slap North Face. Primed gal arranges dandelion light. Better than a quilt, the zephyr’s embrace. Parasol of oaks and maples delight.

Thank you, Gershon! If the sun is shining that is still a good thing. My American flag was flapping like sheets on a line. God bless!

Your opening lines spell the essence of your poem, my friend: --Spring is cold in its cool pastel colors. Today, Winter’s a fool to tread so late past its season. Its gait freezes flowers---March is proving to be moody as you so well convey, Kim.

How true about March! I find that people get all grumpy because the days are in 70° every day. LOL. it takes a few more months before winter walks away. No matter how old people get there about March. I never understand that, and being in the Midwest, if even worse.. Have to remember that line …March does not packawat its clothes! To stop people from complaining about it all of the time. Illinoi Pangie xx
