Spring Springs

“Spring Springs!”

Summer in Winter,
When February’s today
and today is 60.
When 60 feels like 90,
And the snow is a no go.
When the sun is a yes-yes.

Summer in Winter,
When the heart warms, 
and the soul simmers.
When sun shines warm,
and winter slumbers?
When long shirts find floors, 
and short shorts find legs.

Summer in Winter,
When Winter fades,
and Spring springs!

Love it! Everyone I talk to around the country says the same thing, that one day its warm and the next your teeth are chattering. Captured perfectly here. Bravo!

You have expressed the seasons so well my friend, especially when you are in the throes of a winter-summer week like us.
