Spring Mood

Spring's not all about feeling chirpy good, Boom of blooms causes pollen allergies, Scour and scrub the house of dirt, that I should! Spring cleaning done - too tired...Achoo!..to sneeze! Forecast, a li'l chilly, I wear a coat, Out for a walk - whole crowd's had the same thought! The sun's bright and shining, sweat glands afloat, Don't bump into me, I'm already hot! Sudden thunderstorm, get completely wet! April showers came too soon, feel crappy! Winter was far better - you bet! I fret! Muddy and moody walk home, unhappy! Squeaky squirrels en masse*, noisome licence! No peace to write a poem in silence.
*en masse - counted as 2 syllables (HMS syllable dictionary counts it as 2) 5th February 2023 For Michelle Faulkner's "Spring is not all" contest

There's more to spring than just having a cheery disposition, Jo. It is quite true that each season has its own unique set of benefits and drawbacks, but as human beings, we have a responsibility to make the most of each and every day while maintaining our comfort. Good luck with the contest.

Lovely poem, though I prefer Spring to winter.
