Notes About The Poem

One Instructor said, no "LY" words, and no "ING" words. But, here I have broken the rules for effect.

Such a Tease

She makes an early showing, 
her warm breath blowing;
an Eastern sunrise glowing, 
flowers up and growing.

Melted icebergs flowing, 
men on tractors sowing;
loose dirt clods throwing, 
barnyard roosters crowing.

Suddenly, it's snowing; 
frosty winds now mowing.
Wily smile, all-knowing; 
fleetingly, she's going.

Spring . . . such a tease

Thank you, Matthew. We've had a new snow here and more ice and snow predicted for later in the week. Writers' meetings, church, and other gatherings cancelled. Stay snug by the fire if possible. That's one great thing about retirement, you can stay out of the weather most of the time.

Thanks for reading and commenting. You are very generous with your assessment, but it is much appreciated. That's the thing I love most about poetry soup, the interaction with others who write and love poetry. All the best to you, Arlene.

I loved this Cona. Why shouldn't you be allowed to take a little poetic license with a verse as nice as this!
