Notes About The Poem

Image result for images depicting spring

Spring Is Coming Soon

Soon one and all will welcome the unique
Pleasantness of spring. Sun’s
Rays and showers will fulfill their
Intended purpose, engendering
New life in the earth as we say 
Good-bye to winter’s last cold blast.
		
Indoor time will decrease as
Sounds of joy fill the air outside.

Closets will reflect the season--
Out with the overcoats, gloves,
Muted shades, and heavy shoes;
In with brighter, light-weight apparel.
Now, let’s unbox those shorts and flipflops.
Go ahead and stock up on grilling supplies.
	
Some of us have allergies.
Our eyes and noses will flow freely.
Our meds, we hope, will help. Achoo!
NEVERTHELESS, WE ALSO LOVE SPRING!

Hello Janice … after what seems an eternity with winter, spring offers so much in colour, smells, and new life. Of course hay fever does effect many as you wrote - thank you Janice - Lindsay

Achoo and Gezuntheit sure are better outdoors in the warm air than in the dry-out stale air indoors! Spring can't come soon enough for me! (12 inches of new snow on the ground in Chicago today). :) gw

If we get an inch of snow a year in Mississippi, we are shocked! Thanks so much, Gershon! Janice

Spring is coming and the fist signs will show soon. We had almost no summer - it has been raining and cool to cold from mid December until definitely another week - hope we have a late summer. Wonderful write my friend. Hugs and blessings Jennifer.
