Notes About The Poem

Welcome to Alberta.

Spring Time In Alberta

Spring is here at last.
The first buds struggle to rise.
A sudden freeze comes.

The new buds wither.
Birds seek shelter from the cold.
Spring in Alberta.

Temperatures vary
Warm, cold, freezing in one day.
Never a dull moment here.

I am guessing Alberta, Canada. It has been a very changeable fall, winter and spring in our area but it hasn't been like in your area. Enjoyed reading your work. Sara

I think with the isolation we become more conscience of nature.
