The Lilacs Are In Bloom

The Lilacs Are In Bloom by Rick Rucker The lilacs are in bloom, I can smell them from my room, They make me feel so fine, Like aromatic Sunshine! Like a Blessed Gift from Above, Fresh air and Spring, bring thoughts of Love! Just a few weeks ago, We were looking out at snow! Hard to go a-courting, When the weather has you a-sporting, Every single piece of clothing, Your psyche filled with cold-weather loathing! The weather now is warming, I hear honey bees are swarming, Now that it is Spring, My Heart can finally Sing! No longer in my cave, Feeling like a slave, I'm going to find a Mate, Gee, I hope it's not too late!

You can hibernate in your cave for a couple more months, Rick. Then I'll be waiting for you to go "a-courting" without "a-sporting" all those heavy clothes. Quite a joyful and uplifting write. Congratulations on your win! Love, Carolyn
